Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / December 2003Nothing flagged "junk" any more
Hi folks, Ever since upgrading to Eudora 6.0.2 (paid version), "junk" mail is delivered to the Inbox and very little spam . . . actually, I don't think any . . . gets directed to the Junk mailbox. Any clues to what has happened? Thanks in advance.  SignatureL.Rodgers > Hi folks, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Thanks in advance.

(Including junk extras) Junk Mail: Consider mail junk if score is at least 50 €Mail isn't junk if sender is in address book €Remove mail that is at least 3 days old €Warn before removing Junk Extras: Only remove junk whose score is at 75 Transferring to junk assigns score of 60 €Delete junk from server €Do not believe date on junk mail I've now checked "Hold junk in Junk Mailbox" (thanks to a clue from Kathy) but I still don't understand why junk with a score of 50 to 100 isn't automatically sent to the Junk mailbox.

I think just more of Eudora's flexibility. Most of us would want the junk to go to Junk, but a few might want to do other things with it instead. (Maybe forward to Spamcop then trash, or create complaint mail ready to send to abuse@ and then delete, or *gasp* maybe someone even reads it.) (Not me!)

(Not me!) Not me either Kathy <grin> . Checking that box seems to have done the trick. Thank you!

Checking that box seems to have done the >trick. Thank you! But I've noticed more spam recently passing through the gates. Something (tm) happened after upgrading to Panther and/or to Eudora 6.0.1/2. I now sometimes find blatantly obvious spam getting junk scores in the low 20's, and regularly have to check the Junk mailbox for false positives. FYI, the regular Junk pref pane has the threshold score set at 50, Mail isn't junk if sender in Address book, Hold Junk in Junk mailbox (re above), Junk mailbox never unread - and the rest aren't really relevant (I think). In the Junk Extras pref pane, it says Only remove junk whose score is at 0 (is this right? I belive it's the default), Trim old junk to Trash, Transferring to junk scores 100, Delete Junk from server and Do not believe date on junk mail. Seems kosherk, doesn't it? /J > I've noticed more spam recently passing through the gates. Something > (tm) happened after upgrading to Panther and/or to Eudora 6.0.1/2.

I don't know why you'd be getting more false positives and negatives--other than the spammers just keep learning and working their way around filters. I always end up with some junk in my In box and occasionally have good mail go to the Junk folder, although that doesn't happen often any more.

Thanks Kathy . . . I see that box was NOT checked. Is this option new with Eudora 6.0.2? In the previous version "junk" mail was sent to and held in the Junk mailbox.

It may have come unchecked due to minor corruption of the Settings file.
