Spam Parser Rules

[nibb]

How do you handle Spam?
I guess most of you set up a Spam parser.
Whats your recommended or best Spam parser against spam?

I already did made a Parser that checks the Message Body text, for viagra, STOCK and pharmacy, not sure if that will help, but 90% of spam are the same, watche, viagra or stocks, so if we limit the words spammers will be dead.

1. Have your mail run through an email account with spam protection on. FuseMail is very good in this area.
2. For anything that slips through the net, setup a parser rule to dump the mail.

Just search for spam token lists. Here's an example: Spam Words WordPress Codex

The more of those you find, the better the suit of armor you can build from them.

Its a paid service, but we use it. Use Spamarrest. There we added our pop3 mailaccounts and each new mail must verified by the sender (or you can verify it as well). All verfied sender emails will be put into your inbox. Then i just changed the Username and Password from my mailaccounts to my spamarrest account details, and all emails without spam go through straight into the heldesk.

100% Spam Free.

If you're willing to look into paid services, another high quality performer is "Akismet", which is the anti-spam stuff in WordPress (it's turned off by default, which is why there are so many WordPress blogs out there with spam problems; it actually works very well.) If you're looking for free solutions, I've heard very good things about SpamAssasin.
