fjpoblam Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 I often get email wherein the subject line (at least when it arrives at the mail.app inbox) begins with the character string ***SPAM***. I haven't figured out how to filter and trash these items. I've tried "subject contains" with "***SPAM***", "*SPAM*" and "SPAM", all to no avail. I deduce something is going on that I don't understand. How may I trap these pesky emails? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericr Posted January 8, 2016 Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 What you will want to do is go to Apache SpamAssassin and turn on auto-delete. You can set the threshold higher or lower at this location as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fjpoblam Posted January 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2016 Howdy, ericr. I always appreciate your kind help. One last question. I *did* have SpamAssassin enabled. However, that was probably symbolic beyond just getting messages marked as SPAM, as I've been seeing. (IOW, I understand what you're saying.) Now I will turn on autodelete. One last question, please. The ones I've seen are consistently marked with three stars. Would setting the spam level down to 3 catch them? Or do I need to go UP? (Inverse or not?)
