Re: [kde] Kmail spam filtering - Help

I need a little more explanation. Does this mean that the tags I need are
available or only in newer versions of kmail? Can somebody point me at user
documentation for these features?

"From"->"is not in address book", at least in the latest version.

Is the mail addressed to one of my accounts ? (Some aren't)
A little trickier to avoid false positives, but perhaps something like:
"Match all of the following":
"To" does not contain "me@xxxxxxxxxxxx"
"To" does not contain "me2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
"Cc" does not contain "..."
"Cc" ...
Is the mail from somebody in a domain or who has a name that I known
sends spam?
You could create a category in your address book containing all these
addresses, and use "From" "is in category". Alternatively you could just
use a bunch of "From" "contains" <unwanted address> type filters.

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.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Surely there is a filter available that will
do some or all of these things.

To be honest, once you get to this level, I think you're probably better
off customizing something like spamassassin, that's designed for spam
filtering, though.

Philip
