This general-purpose definition is designed to catch a
|
|
wide range of spam, with particular emphasis on:
|
|
|
|
* Sexual content and penile enlargement ads
|
|
* Pharmacy and bogus health cures
|
|
* General unwanted commercial "services"
|
|
* Spam tools
|
|
* 419 scams (the "Nigerian funds transfer" scam)
|
|
|
|
This ruleset aggressively filters messages containing
|
|
Lazy HTML (HTML with references to remote graphics): if
|
|
you receive a lot of legitimate mail containing Lazy
|
|
HTML, you will either need to whitelist the sources of
|
|
that mail, or else remove the test.
|
|
|
|
This rulest also regards any message containing more
|
|
than 25% non-ASCII characters as spam, so if you receive
|
|
a lot of legitimate mail of this type you will need to
|
|
take steps to deal with that.
|
|
|
|
We recommend that you do not directly modify this rule
|
|
set, because subsequent versions of Mercury will usually
|
|
attempt to update it. Instead, create a copy of this set
|
|
and work on the copy, disabling this one.
|
|
|
|
This rule set is a standard part of the Mercury/32
|
|
distribution and is updated from time to time: you can
|
|
find updated rule sets on our web site, at -
