Spam not getting caught


Recommended Posts

Can anyone offer any ideas as to why these messages always get to my inbox, never end up in held mail till i move them there? I do have my own address on my whitelist. Could that be the problem? The same problem occurs with the "October 78% Off" messages too.

Yes, that line overrides anything else. The whitelist tells the system you want any email sent "from" that address to be placed into your Inbox.

so the whitelist checks only the header than, I take it.

Don't know exactly what you are asking here. The whitelist does not look at anything... the scanner uses the whitelist.

The scanner runs all the scans (to show you what would have happened) then compares the from and reply-to (and maybe one other header) with the white-list. If a match is found, it goes to the inbox.

SpamCop Emails Whitelist checks "From:" field and overrides/bypasses all blacklists including Greylisting

If a spammer has your whitelisted email address then it will go directly to your inbox

SpamCop Emails Whitelist checks "To:" field...
But that's not complete, and I'm glad that it goes further than that, or it would be worthless for mailing lists. The following headers are checked against the whitelist

* Envelope Sender aka Return Path

* From:

* Sender:

Many mailing lists have a "Sender" field added, which remains constant for the list, while the "From" is variable.
