// MailWasher Pro filter rules #1, compiled by "Wiz" Feinberg, from www.wizcrafts.net. // Can be used to replace the default rules, saved to your MWP profile data folders as filters.txt. // This page is a child of: http://www.wizcrafts.net/mailwasher.html and http://www.wizcrafts.net/mwp-filters.html where you can get MailWasher Pro, or learn more about it. // // If these rules prove beneficial to you, please make a donation, at: http://www.wizcrafts.net/donations/ // Thanks :-) // // READ THESE NOTES // // Indicates a comment, and is not parsed. // // IMPORTANT READ THE FOLLOWING! // If you make changes to this file while MailWasher Pro is running, the changes will be overwritten when MailWasher Pro is closed. // To be safe, close MailWasher first,then edit the filters. Or, edit them within MailWasher using the Filter Sidebar (Control + F7). // I have had reports about corruption when copying and pasting my filters into existing filters.txt files. Most of the time this is caused because the text editor you are using is allowing a mixture of Unicode and Ascii entries to be copied. // If you experience MailWasher wiping out the pasted in filters, after you re-open it (assuming it was not running at all when you saved the changes), do this. // When copying and pasting some or all of these filters into your own "filters.txt," if you are using a text editor that is unicode-aware, you should not just SAVE the file. Rather you should use the "Save AS" feature to save the file as either all ASCII or all UNICODE. MailWasher will accept either, but can only deal with one at a time. // // Personally identifiable rules have been deleted from this list. You should create your own rules to deal with your domain name or email address in the Subject or From fields. // Sample rule for spam sent to an non-existent account on your Domain server, - contacts@yourDomain ... // (ex:) [enabled],"contacts@YourDomain.com","Contacts Spam",16711680,OR,Hidden,Delete,Automatic,To,contains,contacts@YourDomain.com,EntireHeader,contains,contacts@YourDomain.com,Subject,contains,contacts@YourDomain.com,From,contains,contacts@yourDomain // The following are actual, functional rules, ready to drop in to your existing Mailwasher Filters. There may be duplicates because some are from common rules sources. // There must not be any blank lines from the start of the list to the end. Each rule must be on one continuous line, with a linefeed between rules. The last rule must end at the end of it's line, without a linefeed! // Turn off word wrap to view these rules. // Be sure you add your friends and contacts to your Friends List, or the image spam filter rules may delete email you wanted. // Removed undesirable "Bounce" directives on August 8, 2007. Bouncing no longer works for modern spam as the Return To and From field is always forged and is sent from zombie botnetted home or office computers. // Bouncing also creates more backscatter of useless, undeliverable email, which email servers must deal with. // Email matching rules will be flagged as the various types of spam but you will have to delete them manually, by clicking the "Process Email" button. // You can change the action back to automatic, hidden, or blacklist if you wish, by editing the action rules here, or with MailWasher Pro's Filter sidebar. // Please read the Blocked Countries filter and remove any extensions for Countries you get legit email from. Use caution with all of the Country-based filters! Disable any that block legitimate foreign email. // Removed all instances of actions "Hidden," "Automatic," and "Blacklist" on August 11, 2007 // Temporarily disabled the image spam filters because this type of spam is dying. Subject to instant reactivation! // This is the master filters.txt and includes old filters from years gone by, as well as the most current. // Rearranged filters according to my own usage; most current rules nearest the top; catch-alls near bottom. // December 2, 2007: (Split Pharmaceuticals and Male Enhancement filters into separate detections for Subject [S] and Body [B] word matches. Merged Canadian Pharmacy filter into Pharmaceuticals.) // January 3, 2008, I have begun anchoring the starting characters on new lines with ^ to improve rule processing. Many rules are getting updated to include this, as is appropriate. // January 17, 2008, I added a new filter to detect the same domain name on both sides of @ sign, in "From:" field. Removed part of .info sender filter to speed up processing. // May 24, 2009: Added new filter to detect URL Shortener spam links (above Blocked Countries filter) // May 31, 2009: Added "Stud Tips" spam filter // June 23, 2009: Known Spam [From or Body] now split into 2 filters (one for From, one for Body). // Aug 25, 2009: Added Google Reader Spam Link filter // Sept 28, 2009: Added Webmail Phishing Scam filter // Oct 17, 2009: Added African Sender (419) filter // Nov 10, 2009: Added Unlicensed Prescription Drugs filter // Nov 17, 2009: Phishing Scam updated and split into 2 filters; one for Subject/From, the other for Body text // Jan 13, 2010: Added a Western Union phishing filter // Jan 14, 2010: UPS Phishing Scam #2 added. Original renamed to: UPS Phishing Scam #1 // Jan 29, 2010: Added Courier Phishing Scam for DHL and others, aside from UPS // Feb 10, 2010: Added Facebook Phish filter // Feb 15, 2010: Added Live.com Spam Link filter // Feb 20, 2010: Added "Subject contains < * + ' >" filter. Added "Flagged by Spam Assassin" filter. Moved "XdomainY@domain" below it, to the bottom of the list. // Feb 22, 2010: Added Blogger Exploit Link filter // Feb 22, 2010: Split huge Nigerian 419 Scam filter into 6 separate filters, to speed things up // Mar 07, 2010: Added Craigslist Scammer filter - pitching get rich schemes to Craigslist posters // Mar 17, 2010: Added Warranty Spam filter (fraudulant extended car warranties) // Filters updated last week: Dating Scam, Male Enhancement [B], Nigerian 419 Scam #5 [B], Nigerian 419 Scam #6, Pharmaceuticals [S], // Filters previously updated this week: Pharmaceuticals [S], Live.com Spam Link, (New) Warranty Spam, Dating, Known Spam Domains, Known X-Mailer, Unlicensed Prescription Drugs // Last updated filters on March 20, 2010: Unlicensed Prescription Drugs // All of these comments will be erased as soon as you save this file as filters.txt and activate MailWasher Pro.
