[de-lurk]
For some time now, the amount of unwanted email has been increasing in my Inbox.
The server has 'Assassin, and I've been using some Eudora hand-crafted filters to trash 'Assassin-marked emails, as well as re-directing various mailing lists to sub-folders.
Alas, that recently reached the point where I couldn't use my desktop machine to work, as it was spending far too many cpu cycles filtering email...
So now I have a PHP script on the server, whacking away at the junk, and putting things in the correct sub-folders, and my desktop box is useful again.
In addition to 'Assassin-marked junk, which catches about 85% of the junk, I've crafted some custom filters to get most of the rest of the junk, and can almost get back to work...
The single remaining feature I'd like to add to my custom PHP filtering is one that would catch emails whose subject lines have been encoded in a B1FF-like manner to disguise their junkiness.
EG: Val'um in the subject line should be detectable as junk.
I've searched the web a bit, but am finding far too many references to the X-based email client named "biff" (Argh!)
Thus, I need your help finding/writing a biff_decode function.
Perhaps a function which, given a short (subject length) input of text, and a dictionary of "bad" words, would return some kind of value indicating a percent match of how "close" the text was to any of the bad words.
Or perhaps somebody on this list has a better idea how to tackle the problem.
Please cc me, as I am still struggling with catching up on mail/news, and would most likely not see the solution otherwise.
THANKS!!!
