Junk email rules - pre-written anywhere for import?

A

Allan Fischler

2004 does a better job filtering junk email, but I still get quite a bit. I
started setting up rules with all the obvious dirty little words that are
common in spam headings, and thought......... Does a nice, well set-up rules
file for adult/spam email already exist? Seems like that would be a great
file to be able to share. Is one available that we can import as a rule
file?

Thanks.

No, unfortunately not. Rules are not accessible to scripts or third party
solutions.

About all you could do would be to replace the entire 'rules' file for an
identity, but then you would lose all your own rules, and there would be no
correlation between folder IDs etc.

But you can import rules from a file, correct? I'm talking about one rule
that is set up not specific to someone's personal maibox, but one that one
can share that will discard all the obvious common junk words and known
spammer addresses. Seems like this would be a useful file so we all do not
need to start from scratch.......

No, you can't import rules from a file.
