If you call this book "spam" it is:

h.fromid="$ab.spam$"

(look in the help at ICSL Help and ICSL Variables)

But often the from adress is used only once or twice by spammers. I
don't like adding the address over and over again. So I do it the other
way around: If the mail doesn't have your e-mail adress in the to field
(most spam doesn't) and if it isn't from someone you know, then chances
are big it is spam. So my spam-filter looks like:

!(h.fromid="$ab$" | h.to="winfried.t@inter.nl.net" |
h.cc="winfried.t@inter.nl.net")

Only occasional some spam gets through (I might add some extra checks
on exclamation marks, html, etc soon)


Best wishes,
Winfried
