    Hi.

    Have you noticed an increase in spams? What new WCSAPFILTER or
    SPAMFILTER rules or any CONFIG\IPCONFIG-*.DAT blocks do you have?

    Do you have any interesting scripts for filtering mail?

    Personally, I don't use the WC! spam filter. I have an external spam
    filter that have set up that pretty much catches 99% of spam that comes
    into my network. Granted it _IS_ Linux based and tosses clean mail to
    the appropriate mail server (based on domain as I have a Linux mail
    server as well).

    I don't know if this helps or not but, lately, I have put the following:

    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.xyz
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.top
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.science
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.net.in
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.work
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.cricket
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.pics
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.webcam
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.link
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.edu
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.party
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.click
    reject if %RPD% in *opt*.review

    in my wcSapFilter.txt.

    I have been saving thousands of spam email addys for some time now and have been putting them in the badrcpt.txt in the WC5/DATA folder.

    The same spam email addys are reoccuring in the .party, .click, and .review domains.

    John, thank you for this post. I will have to update things here on my
    end at Neptune's Lair and see what happens.
