Whats a good folder rule to trap spam?
One way of coping with spam is to route it to a dedicated folder to be dealt with at your leisure. Unfortunately there is no rule that is guaranteed to trap spam and only spam. However, the following rule gives good results. It relies on the fact that a lot of spam is not address to you personally in the header. Create a spam folder then and give it a custom accept rule !/^(to|cc):.*fred@example\.com/h replacing fred@example.com with your actual email address, putting a \ before each dot. This rule will trap any message that does not have your address in the To: or Cc: line. The rule will fail to trap spam that does mention your address in the header. The rule will also erroneously trap legitimate mail that has been Bcc’ed to you or that is from a mailing that you have not told Turnpike about. In this case you may wish to add reject rules for specific addresses to keep them out of your spam folder.
