SPAM Filtering Configuration for Netscape Users

These instructions are for Netscape 7.1, the current release of the software, but should be applicable for any version of Netscape 6.0 and higher.

The concept of SPAM Filtering out the Email which is SPAM is Simple, we mark the messages which are being scanned as SPAM. The markings that we place on the messages are contained in the Headers Section (a section not normally viewed by users) of the Email messages.

If you'll remember, we place the following headers which you can look for in sorting the Email in your mail reader.

X-SPAM-Checked-by: 	www.No-JunkMail.com
X-JMClass: 	SPAM  or   X-JMClass: 	OK   <- This field indicates whether there the messages is SPAM.

X-Spam-Score: 	5.7 (*****)  <- If this field is present, it will indicate the level of which we detect it.
	  
	  Note: Email Headers are not generally visible by Some Email Readers, but the Mail Readers generally permit
you to examine the Email Headers for the purpose of creating Email Filters.  There is one exception, and that
is Outlook Express, this tool does not examine Email Headers, nor can you view them.  We recommend that
you consider updating to an Email Tool which is listed below (or another compatible Email Reader).
	  
It is our experience that if the X-Spam-Score is lower than 10, there is a chance that the Message can be improperly labeled as SPAM. These messages are indicated on the Graphs as Probable SPAM (of which most of these are SPAM). In fact our False positive rate is lower that you might think. In more that 20,000 messages, we MAY experience 1 or 2 messages which are incorrectly labeled (we have found that NO Filtering process is perfect).

This Section details the steps required to configure the Netscape Mail filter to sort the SPAM into it's own folder.

To start, you need to select the Tools Section on the Menu Bar, select the Message Filters..., you will than see a New Window which looks something like this:

Message Filters

Select New..., to begin creating the SPAM Filter.




Filter Rules

Change the name of the Filter to SPAM, so that you can find it easier later. We need to create a New item to match for the Mail Headers, so select the Drop-Down-Arrow, which is visible to the right of the word Subject. Scroll to the bottom of the Drop-down list to the word Customize. This will bring up the Customize Headers window.

Customize Headers




We are adding the X-JMClass Header to our filter, so type that into the New Message Header: field. Click the Add button.

Customize HeadersThen click OK.




Now that we have created a New Header called X-JMClass, we need to select it instead of the Subject. Click on the Drop-down arrow next to the Subject, and select the X-JMClass keyword which we just created. The next field should contain the work contains, click the arrow and select this keyword. In the right field type the word SPAM.

Filter Rules




The next section is where we want to put the SPAM. Click the New Folder... button, type the word SPAM into the folder name.

Customize Headers Then click OK, twice. You are now back to the main Message Filters window.




Message Filters




If you have already received Email from us and you want to purge the SPAM into it's own Folder, you can select the SPAM Filter (as shown), and then Click the Run Now button. When you are finished, click on the X in the upper right hand corner to close the window.

You have completed the steps for the SPAM Filter for Netscape. Now sit back and enjoy.
