[opensuse] filtering "unknown" email messages
Hi For a while now I have been getting email messages that are blank with regards to from. I would like to filter all such messages to the trash. However, creating a filter with blank captures all mails, while creating a filter with "Unknown" captures nothing. I am using kmail 4.14.9. Here an example of the headers taken from one such email MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Subject: ➤Keep Your Family Insured with Private Medical Insurance Starting as low as £9.99/mo! Does anyone know if a simple solution, please? Thanks Eddie -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Very strange. Maybe a look at all the headers (I don't remember how to look at them in kmail) would be interesting. You'd have to anonymize whatever personal data is there (your own address, perhaps). I may be confused, but blank "from" addresses I think is used by mail daemons in the automatically generated messages sent back when a mail is rejected, I think, so that the rejection message can't be rejected or routed. Something like this... coffee has not waked my mind fully yet. Weird if spammers are using this trick. Wait! I have seen this type of email generated, not sent, by my own ISP directly into my account. It can be detected because there is no "received" trace. Mine does this very rarely, for news related to the service. Like "new webmail service". - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

try doing a "View/View Source" of a couple of the emails and check to see if there is a common link in the hidden header information. I got a lot of spam from a japanese source but i found a common thing to search for and put into a filter that searched the complete email which i then moved the spam email to trash folder. Then check your trash just in case..... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
