Specific regular exp. creating

[Chactory]

Hi together,

in my opinion, you have to be careful not to use too general expressions, for this could yield to false positive filterings.
E.g., if you filter "here", you will filter many non-spam mails with the commonly used word "here" in them. Like Quellcore wrote, "(knock|click)here" is already much more specific.
The expression "bed(ing)" will in fact filter "bed" as well as "beding". If you create an expression simply "beding" (or completely: "(?i)\bbeding\b"), this will particularly filter your searched word.

Yes indeed,

I do realise that, and that's why creating reg exps may come hard after few weeks... I modified this reg exp:

Code: Alles auswählen

\b([Qq]uick).?[Cc].?l.?[i1].?c.?k\b

Hi,

that's a cool RegExp! It will filter "quick click", which sounds very specific for spam mails. You are using the "." sign as wildcard, but together with the "?" only, so I don't expect false positive recognitions. If you would permit me to use this idea, I would like to add it to my spam-word list.

Sure Bro,

I am working over few other reg exps, based on over 300-400 spam mails from last month+, I will share them soon.
