I've posted version 1.4.0 on the web site at 6:53am Eastern Time US.

- Changed the flag identifying an email excluded by country to the jolly roger.

Seems a good idea, Jeff. (And like the jolly roger idea - cute.) But I note that messages thus flagged still come up in the abuse window ready for reporting. Isn't part of the point of the country flagging the fact that these are countries known for doing zip about spam - and therefore that there's little point reporting them?

So if we now know that a message has been excluded by country, would we actually want to report it? And if not, why have them in the abuse window?

Am I making sense?

Thanks for this Lance.

You're spot on with your observation, and that's why I put this in. I personally don't report spam to excluded countries. I sort, select, and report the spam where there are anti spam laws.

If enough people only want to see included spam, I can certainly add this option. Thanks.

Some questions:


1. If the jolly roger flag comes up only for SPAM from blocked contries why does so much SPAM still will be reported to abuse adresse from ISPs from Brasil, South America which I all have on the block list too?

2. Wouldn't that a be good idea to add a preference which says "report SPAM only to countries with SPAM laws"?

3. I noticed that quite a lot of replys to abuse reports are still going through to my email application. Any reason for that?

Thanks for this oculi!


The abuse addresses and the domains managed are not necessarily in the same geographic location.


Great idea!


Em@ilCRX should pick most of them off. I'd be interested in seeing the "from" address and/or "subject" from some of the ones that it is missing. I can easily add a filter for them.

Like this discussion thread. Yes, Jeff, I would like to be able to setup CRX to just delete country-excluded messages instead of having them land in the abuse window.

So maybe configure it so CTRY items stay in the message window but don't appear in the abuse window, and are removed along with DELD items with "remove deleted" or "aging update" commands.



Related to this (and to another thread from earlier): I'm still getting replies from kornet flagged by CRX as spam.
