How do I add this filter ?

Sat Aug 24, 2024 6:06 am

I have been getting an awful lot of spam about health products and have tried various filters which do not seem to work.
How do I go about adding spam filters for senders such as
Return-Path: <[email protected]>
Domain: thesoundwellness.shop

or
Received: from emotionalheath.shop
From: [email protected]
Domain: emotionalheath.shop

I have tried using e.g.
Domain... contains health
Domain... contains health*.*
Domain... contains *.*health*.*
and the same for "From".. and Sender..
then on the Actions tab maximized the Spam slider,
and similar for the word wellness, but it doesn't mark the spam mails as Spam and it doesn't mark them for delete.

Can someone give me examples of how to add filter for these spammers ?
Hope someone can help !

Yes, I'd set the filter to look at the header, not the from etc fields, as we find that often the spammers use 2 fields in the header for these so filters get confused....

If still problems, post which filter you are using for a specific email and we can take a closer look...

Aha !!! I just tried filtering using "Return Path" ... contains--- wellness and it caught the spam trying to convince me that beans can help artery health !
As I said, using Received from.. or From.. or Sender didn't work, but just using the word wellness did the trick for this spammer:

"Return-Path: <[email protected]>"

So I can add similar ones for words like health, heart, etc..

Thanks so much for the tip !!
