It’s that time again!  According to the news, criminal gangs in control of zillions of zombie PCs are responsible for the massive surge in spam these past few months.  So I’ve updated my filters yet again, and they’re catching all kinds of new crap.   They’re not perfect but they’re keeping my Gmail inbox clean!  I’ve set Gmail to 1) forward to spam@uce.gov or SpamCop,
and 2) delete the bastards.  If you really want to do some good, get
yourself a SpamCop account and start sending reports to ISPs and
webhosts.

All of these are to be applied to the body of the email, and they’re ready to plug into the “Matches:” field in Gmail’s filters.  (The last one is for the “Subject:” field only.)  They they should also work with other email services, though you’ll probably have to insert them differently and remove the OR separators.  And, as always, review everything these filters catch to make sure they’re only catching spam!  They’re tailored to my own inbox, so there may be a few keywords in there that you’ll want to remove…but most of it is very spam-specific.  They’re also categorized now, to make things easier to track, and the newest additions are marked in orange.
