How to Blacklist Weird Emails

Tue Nov 26, 2019 6:12 am

Hi Everyone,
Can someone help me...Please
I get about 40 or 50 Emails a day that can not be blacklisted..
I try to use wild card but to no avail...
It would be a waste of time with learning features...

So an email below is just one example... Any Help would be great

One option would be to create a custom filter that looks at the FROM for an email that is correctly formatted.

This is the one I have currently
FROM field, DOESN'T CONTAIN, REGEX

Code: Select all

[a-z0-9._%+-]+@[a-z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,4}
Once you are happy with performance and are sure it's not going to tag legitimate emails you received, you could then look at setting the auto-delete option for that specific filter, and not see those emails any more.

Hi,

This morning when I woke up...I found that your command line worked pretty good...I would say very good...
But here is one that keeps getting thru.....
I got about 20 different ones that got thru any suggestions on this type of email.....

Odd. It should match those.

What stands out though is those asterisks, so I wonder if a nice and simple.
If FROM field, CONTAINS, PLAIN TEXT,

Code: Select all

 (*
No need for any fancy regular expressions, just looking for the opening bracket followed by an asterisk.

Thank you very much, I've used this method to filter or blacklist the many spam emails I've been receiving lately with the subject "congratulation ! you've Won."
