cgi mail form- spam and cnc filters

[rlowe]

I am want to avoid spammers from harvesting my email addresses from a web page again.

If I use the cgi mail form and have the subject line of the mail I receive from the form read "sales question",
I can delete any email coming to me@mydomain.com that does not have "sales question" in the subject line as spam. Exactly what would I type into the control panel email filter that would allow only email with "sales question" in the subject line to pass and delete all others?

Please advise if there is a better way to do this.

Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,

I think that you'll need to program (or find) a script to filter out your emails (like only allowing subject lines with "sales question.")

This might be more trouble than it is worth and such a simple filter might be easier on your end. For example, if you use Outlook, you could set up a rule.

Also, a word of advice: the address that has the filter should be internally used only. You should not send mail from the email address or give out the address. The subject line would most likely change from "sales question" and then would mistakenly be deleted when received.
