PLEASE make it possible to block spam by keyword

[DavidRussell]

Please add the option to define keywords in the subject or body of a message that will mark it as spam. Blocking by sender, domain, or IP is not working for us because it always changes. We need to block words like "viagra" and other drugs and anything of that sort that's in the body of the email.

Some of our email accounts have become almost useless without this ability.

If there's a way to add it myself in the custom filters I'm grateful for any help, except I am not a programmer, so I was hoping this would be added as a customizable option.

David,

There is a custom filter that searches the Subject field in the message headers for a particular word or phrase from a list in a textfile.

Thank you for your help, Bob! That is perfect..

I don't suppose you could tell me what changes to make to that string so that I can add another filter to check the body as well ( I realize I use it at my own risk if it makes a difference)

David, many FutureQuesties are using "EFM", the Email Filter Manager" written by FQ customers some years ago. It hasn't been updated since '05 and really doesn't need to be as it was designed to be quick and clean, not a feature-laden community server CPU hog. It installs quickly and works extremely well, providing the ability to filter by body words, subject words, to and from, and more. See http://diamond-back.com/software/efm/ . It's not provided/officially supported by FQ so any Qs about it should be posted here on the forums, not to the Service Desk.

Thanks so much, Frank!!

Also, I have to mention that I've been using SpamFighter for some months now. It's very, VERY good.

As mentioned in this thread (http://aota.net/forums/showthread.php?t=25397), IpNation would 100% fit your needs. I was using EFM for years. It is a good filter, but not "perfect". I needed a perfect filter, therefore I'm now using IpNation.

I installed the EFM and get a 500 internal server error when running index.php. I double checked all folder locations and permissions..

I went to take a look at your account, but assuming I'm thinking of the correct domain, you've apparently removed the entire script. Not possible to troubleshoot in that case.

[DavidRussell]

sorry Sheila, it's for frenchrivertrading.com

OK, for some reason the copy of EFM that you have is not compatible with the upgraded version of PHP. I took a look at your index.php file in the efm directory, and it still has occurences of $this which is what is breaking it.

Tips for fixing the script are given in the following thread:
