With MyMail spam filter turned on you will get spam mail deleted
and never downloaded from the server. Order of spam filter:
MyMAIL is looking for banned words/addresses:
Add more "spam" words to the spams.kil file if you like by clicking in the "Banned word list" button but think twice before adding the "kill word". One word or combination of words per line. Add more addresses to the spamf.kil file if you like by clicking in the "Spam addresses" button but think twice before adding the "kill address". One address per line. Example: If you like to delete all mail from the BestSourceMedia.cc do type BestSourceMedia.cc in one line and all mail from that spam place will be deleted. Banned strings MyMAIL looks for the banned strings in the addresses and subjects so it must not be a complete string. The filter also makes a test by removing some chars like ,.*~;:"_- and and replaces for example 0 to O. This makes it possible to detect spam that can look like this v_i.aG*r~a or 0rgasm. Example: If Viagra is stated in the spams.kil file in one line then mymail will delete mail all mails containing viagra anyware in the subject file (like Buy viagra today). Do not do this If you state an @ alone in one line of the spamf.kil file then will all mail be deleted. In general do not enter simple single words like Sex in the filter as you will get hits on for example susex. Slowdown With these functions turned on it will obvious be slower as the program gets more to check for every mail. Optimization :
