Junk/SPAM filter on embedded links

[blugene]

SPAM/JUNK Filters are "Weak"
I've been researching the SPAM I do get and putting into a database to further analyze.
I use [ctl+u] to show the "source" of the e-mail
Then use [ctl+f] to "Find" a text string
I type in. In this case "Http:" I see several matches within this document or if I hover over an embedded
object in the e-mail I see the same "http..." links These links ALL start the same way and after the first "."
(dot), they are very different in each e-mail to the next e-mail from the same SPAMer. So, I Parse out the
1st N Chars up to the 1st "." These "Parsed" links are responsible for 90% of the SPAM I get http://email.

Example      "http://kral."

Seems to me if you guys could create a filter that would allow users to filter on an embedded link's web
address, that a SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY of the SPAM would be caught (and stopped)

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

creating a filter wouldn't be bad, but it won't stop spam.

I have been dealing with this for at least 2 years. The only way to stop spam is to fill your mailbox to capacity for at least 1 month.

then the emails that didn't reach their destination will be sent back to their sender.

If it is now possible to identify the spammer, it is necessary to inform the competent authorities of this fact. They will have the capacity to investigate and to act with the fai to make cease these spams and/or stop the person.

The only way to stop spam is to fill your mailbox to capacity for at least 1 month. this way, emails that have not reached their destination will be returned to their sender. on the other hand, what I would really like to see with Thunderbird is that all messages marked as spam are NOT marked as read. this way, the sender is not informed that the message has been read and is in the dark about whether or not it was received.

although it is very late to respond to this suggestion (but better late than never), creating a filter would not be bad, but it will not stop spam.

Instead of just links it might be nice to be able to filter on the message body before it gets converted to text and has the html tags and attributes removed.

I want to filter email that contains LINK to specific domain. "Contains..." in message filter seems not recognizing link address.
