Restoring Default Spam Filters

summary: How to restore the spam filters since changes in the default configuration (as of version 0.5.9)

Pre 0.5.8, the application was hardwired to ignore message flagged by popular anti-spam software. These default values have been removed as they couldn't be overwritten. Since version 0.5.9, you must create your own SpamHeader.properties file with the relevant filters.

Below is an abbreviated how-to. If you need more details, consult Add Spam Filter.

Ignore messages flagged by POPFile, SpamAssassin, SpamPal & SpamBayes

  1. Create a plain text file in %ZOE%/Library/SZ/Configurations/Default/ named SpamHeader.properties

    X-Text-Classification=spam
    X-Spam-Flag=yes
    X-SpamPal=spam
    X-Spambayes-Classification=spam
  3. restart the application (see Starting And Stopping for help)
