 |

Hello,
May I suggest some features or enhancements for new versions of ASSniper:
- A filter based on the country where the email comes;
- A filter based on creation date;
- Possibility of adding a DNSBL server .
Thanks. |

You can use a black rule for filtering messages by the top-level domain. For example:
| Code: | | Header{Received} =~ \.(?:jp|cn)\b |
This rule will block the messages relayed from a server with Japanese or Chinese domain name.
Also it is possible to filter the messages by the encoding. This rule with two conditions blocks the messages in Japanese language:
| Code: | Strong Header{Content-Type} =~ SHIFT_JIS|ISO-2022-JP
Strong Body =~ charset\s{0,10}=\s{0,10}"?(?:SHIFT_JIS|ISO-2022-JP) |
Actually the trainable classifier allows blocking the messages in certain language rather effectively. For example, if you never receive good messages in Japanese, the plug-in will classify as spam most of the emails in this language after marking as spam 2-5 messages in Japanese. The rules above are also effective. But for example English messages can also be posted from a server with blacklisted domain name and in blacklisted encoding. Therefore I'd suggest to avoid using any special filtering by country, and continue training the plug-in instead.

This feature is in TODO for version 3.

Same as above.
Thanks for the suggestions! |

1. In spam (press F9 in TheBat and see the domains in Received).
2. Here is a link to official IANA database of country-code root domains:

Yes, the first beta of version 3 will be published next month (or even at the end of this month). A lot of new features are already implemented, but still there are important things in TODO list. |

Hi!
What about a settings backup option?
The Bat! doesn't includes the plugin settings on his backup. |

I think that it will be too much for a plug-in. Currently you can use any backup tool for making a full backup of TheBat and AntispamSniper files in MAIL folder. For example, it is possible to use a powerful backup tool included in Windows, or one of the numerous third-party solutions. Having the same functionality in plug-in looks excessive. |

Ok, I understand it. But I think it should appear in some place (a button on the config with a messagebox, help file, ...) how to do a AntiSpamSniper backup.
It should say, backup <this> folder, save the Registry key, .... (as needed by the plugin). |

Here is a quote from FAQ chapter of the plug-in manual:
| Quote: | Q: How to back up the plug-in data?
A: All data is stored in the configuration directory as several binary files. Usually the configuration directory is the "AntispamSniper" subfolder of the main The Bat! storage folder. You can find the exact path on Options tab of the plug-in settings. |
I.e. the plug-in stores all settings in the configuration folder and doesn't use system registry. |
