jblessing Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 I would like the ability to auto-delete (i.e. with no interaction on my part), any messages where the subject contained specific words/phrases. Plus the ability to maintain my list of phrases. Currently a lot of my held email is v. obviously spam based on the subject line and I could save myself some time if I didn't have to scan them all before deleting. I know that spammers like to replace real words with something similar (E.g. V1codin) but enough don't (or only change infrequently) to make such a scheme worthwhile.

StevenUnderwood Posted May 5, 2004 Share Posted May 5, 2004 If you are using spamcop's webmail, you could do this with a set of filters set to either move to trash or discard. Filters can be made to work on all folders with a configuration switch. Otherwise, you should be able to do this on your local client. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jblessing Posted May 5, 2004 Author Share Posted May 5, 2004 Filters only get actioned when I log in. It is pointless doing it on my local client as that means I have to download the headers (at least). If I'm on holiday dialling in via a mobile phone at 9600, this is not a realistic option. As I said, I would like emails whose subject contains words from a specific list of phrases to be automatically deleted without any action on my part. This would reduce my workload substantially.
