new spammer tricks..

I've noticed a trick in the spam sneaking through the defenses. Increasing amount of spam is showing up addressed as: From: "my address" To: "my address" Had me head scratching for a second, but then it struck me. Challenge/response systems. What is the address most likely to already be whitelisted... [Teal Sunglasses]

Thank goodness for Mail.app:

In Mail.app:

Match All: If: from is equal to: my@email.com (ie; me) Message is not addressed to my full name

Send to Junk

And another cheap ploy bites the big one. And all I have to do is remember to mail to my full address, when I do bother to mail myself.
