Stopping Language Character Set Spam

Neo · #1 (**permalink**) 02-15-2003

I have noticed a significate decrease in spam by prodmail filtering on the language character sets that I don't read.

Nothing against our fine friends in Japan, China, Korea and all over the world who use different languages, but I now find that over 50% of my mountains of spam daily is unreadable language sets.

Here is my current set of procmail recipes for this problem that is working well based on language sets I cannot and do not read. If you can read these and need them, it is easy to remove them from the recipe:

Code:

# PARTIAL LIST OF CHARSET SPAM
#big5   - chinese
#gb2312 - chinese
#koi8-r     - cyrillic
#iso-8859-2 - Latin-2 für Eastern Europe
#iso-ir-111 - cyrillic (ECMA)
#iso-8859-5 - cyrillic
#euc-kr         - korean
#ks_c_5601-1987 - korean
#iso-2022-kr    - korean
#euc-jp         - japanese
#iso-2022-jp    - japanese

charset_spam

I recreated the simple filters above by looking at lots of spam and also visiting sites that list charsets:

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/docs/...oding.doc.html

http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/d...ce/charset.asp

Anyone have any ideas or suggestions for improving these recipes? They are working OK and I'm refining them daily..... Neo
