Unable to remove a really persistent junk mail email

Post by arcadian »

I've had endless problems with this email link from Singapore below as GMail still isn't blocking it using their recognisable catch words filter. Is there any PP app that can do it ?

I've put a couple of spaces between the words to block it if it tries anything....

Thanks

Hello arcadian,

Just to ensure I'm understanding correctly what you are asking...

The email link you refer to is appearing within the body of some email(s) you are receiving, and you want to block any such emails which contain that particular link?

If this is incorrect, please provide additional information.

Also, are you using POP Peeper's Antijunk feature? (Available in PP Pro).

Thank you & best regards.

If you have the AntiJunk feature that spc3rd (Pete) mentioned in his post above you can "Blacklist" the email address of the sender to block these messages.

Is there a way of checking that it will definitely remove the spam first rather than finding out afterwards that it won't ?

If you are getting this message from an address that uses either the same address or just the same domain each time then AntiJunk will provide a way for you to consistently block these specific messages (delete them from your In-box if you prefer so that you will not see then in your In-box).

This is all there is about the sender, so I would guess it's an automatically generated message from a bot or something so no reply will ever be forthcoming.

With POP Peeper's AntiJunk feature you would be able to consistently block these messages on the basis of the subject text you have posted (assuming the subject text is consistently the same) or you also have the option to block these specific messages based on the email address you posted. The Sender would not be aware that you are blocking these messages.

If the email address is the same every time, then creating a rule to delete email from that address should work.

Here's the rule snippet:
-----
[Rules]
Delete: sgcarmart.com_Action = 2 11 0 "" "" 0 16777215 ""
Delete: sgcarmart.com_Rule00 = 0 0 1 "+FromAddress" 0 "postmaster@edm.sgcarmart.com"
Delete: sgcarmart.com_Status =
-----

Just copy that (between but not including the -----) and then:
1) PP main menu: Tools / AntiJunk -> Main interface
2) Select the "Rules" page
3) Press the "Add" toolbar button
4) From the menu, select Edit / Paste rule set
5) Save it

To test it, assuming you still have one or more of these messages:
Right-click on the message and select:
AntiJunk -> Re-evaluate message

And the message should be marked for deletion

Also, I should point out that the first part of this (creating the rule) would be MUCH easier using POP Peeper v5's Rule Wizard :mrgreen:

Information for how Pro licensees can access the v5 beta are available here:
viewtopic.php?f=22&t=7406

If you already had v5.0, then I would have suggested the Rule Wizard in the first place (since you didn't post in the beta forum, I assumed you don't); and I'm not suggesting that you switch to the beta simply to get the Rule Wizard. So: if you want to try the v5 beta, that's great! but don't switch to the beta simply because I made a side-comment suggesting the rule wizard would be easier ;)

Sorry! It helps if I provide accurate instructions #-o

That should have been:
main menu: Tools / AntiJunk -> Main interface

Yes, I had mentioned that in my previous post before realizing I made a mistake in my instructions and removed it in the edit; but I had looked up your forum email address and it does not have a license associated with it. There is a 20% coupon available in the current Message of the Day (main menu: Help / About) if you haven't already purchased Pro.
