I need help fighting spam and I want to install an Anti-Spam program on the Raq550. I need a program that will deny emails - not just filter them to a dump account. I want to filter by the link that is embedded in the email too - not just the text. Many of these spam messages come from many different IPs and I have manually blocked hundreds. They do seem to link to the same few websites. It is these emails that I want to deny so that they get the messages back. Any programs that will allow me to do this? John
John, You can do this fairly easily using MailScanner plus SpamAssassin.Set MailScanner's "High Scoring Spam Actions" in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf to "bounce", and define new URI tests for SpamAssassin that will match the spamvertized web sites you're trying to block. Set the corresponding scores for the URI tests to high values to ensure MailScanner will see the messages as high-scoring spam.
Of course, bouncing the messages won't do any good; it will probably result in you getting a lot of bounces back. When you get tired of them, just change the high-scoring spam action to "delete."
Also note this will result in legitimate mail containing the URIs (complaints from friends, news articles about spam) getting marked as spam and bounced.
