HELO blacklist regexes (updated 6/25/2009) Remember to delete or modify the regexes in the format of (\w*\.|)allmydomainnames.com

DNS blacklists (updated 11/2/2009) I currently use only Barracuda RBL and Zen.Spamhaus.org (Even though I submit to Spamcop.net, it blocks almost nothing running as 3rd.) See also Vamsoft's Countries.nerd.dk Definition Generator

Reverse DNS host name blacklist (updated 4/7/2009) Combines huge list from allianz on 7/10/2008 (I deleted entries that were less than 100% spammy in the U.S.) and regexes from Chris Schmidt (6/17/2008) in orf.tipsandtricks newsgroup. (See my square-bracketed changes in the Comments)

SURBL and URIBL "URL Blacklists"

Keyword filters (updated 2/24/2010) Recommend "Redirect" action to a daily monitored probable spam mailbox. Optionally send spam to a free account at SpamCop.net for processing and notifying responsible parties (see OLSpamCop's SpamGrabber or SpamSource to batch-send from Outlook)

Attachment filters (updated 5/5/2010; no longer blocking audio/ or video/ mime types; a .pdf was "video/x-flv")
Remember to edit out my contact info in the Filter Properties - Comment text; I don't want strangers contacting me about blocked attachments
