Re: [kde] Kmail spam filtering - Help

I noticed that the filter supports regular expressions but unless I can
identify tags for certain elements of the email eg to, from, subject, content
etc I don't see how they can be used effectively. I did notice the address
book option and also that there isn't and adequate help file on the whole
subject. So me original question still stands.
Is the mail from somebody in my address book?
Is the mail addressed to one of my accounts ? (Some aren't)
Is the mail from somebody in a domain or who has a name that I known sends
spam?
The vast bulk of the rest could be spotted with a simple sentence and or
word check. Firstly in the subject and then in the content.
They may sound simple but certain of my accounts should only receive mail from
a few sources. Spammers - usually with and attached gif etc are well versed
in getting round content learning spam filters.

Hi
I'm having something of a spam problem and have looked around to see what
can be used with kmail. All I can find are adaptive filters which will
not do what I want. I need some simple rules such as

Is the mail from somebody in my address book?

One of the filter options in KMails filter setup

Is the mail addressed to one of my accounts ? (Some aren't)

"contains" or "is equal" option

Is the mail from somebody in a domain or who has a name that I known
sends spam?

"contains" or "is equal" optin

You can also match for regular expression.

Cheers,
Kevin
