[sam] Further Clarity on Sam's Spam Rules Question

** Further Clarity on Sam's Spam Rules Question:
 
Jan,
 
thanks for your reply.  It made me realize that apparently I wasn't specific enough in my emails.
 
You see, due to the increasing amount of spam received, I No Longer allow any email from my vfemail acct into my computer - not until I've deleted the spam in Web Mail.
 
Vfemail uses Horde and Sam.
 
I don't want any of the spam to reach my computer so I Always deal with it via webmail at the vfemail site.
 
I do use the Blacklist in Webmail to filter the email but it doesn't seem to catch near what it should and I am at a loss as to finding any information on any rules that might help fine tune the Blacklist.
 
Now with the further clarity provided above, I sincerely hope that someone can help with my questions from last evening.
 
Thanks, Dj

Question:  Do you offer a listing on the wildcards that are available for Sam (in Horde) to assist users in how to filter spam mail?

There are so many variables as far as the spammer's originating address and I'm not sure how to filter them.

(i.e. junkmail at morejunkqac.com  (with the prefix as well as "morejunk" being a different value each time).

  Then next their spam is sent as something like:  01jkws at yofmul.parmesyqac.com

The only variable staying the same within the entire email is qac.com.

I've tried different things but still receiving spam like that.

~~~

If you don't have the info on filtering spam as above, could you please provide info on any site that offers a solid list of how to use wildcards to ensure that mail will have much less of a chance of passing through the filter for regular users like myself?

(I've invested a lot of hours searching for such info on the web but have come up with zilch thus far...)

Any assistance you can give me on the above (whenever you have time) so that I can do a better job at blocking spam would be greatly appreciated.  

Thanks, Dj

This has nothing to do with Sam, but is completely dependant on the spam protection system that you use.
