Fighting spam in gmail

Everyone hates spam, and like everyone else I get tons of it. So I’ve of course written about it two times before. Earlier this week we migrated over to a better email solution, so that we could get SPF working properly. SPF should help google figure out what is spam and what is not. In the process I went through all my old spam (all 4200 hundred of them) and found the following patterns to be  effective in cleaning my spam folder:

Matches: (Pfizer || replica || diploma || pharmacy || meds || pills || male enhancement || BuyCializ || http://www.nobelbarmoebelonline.com || http://www.nobelfahnenmitmast.com || http://www.nobelbarmoebel.com || Bestellseite || http://www.nobeltannenonline.com || http://www.nobelgewerbetools.com || health || Reinigungswirkung || britney spears || http://www.edelebarmoebel.com || http://www.edelefahnenmitmast.com || http://www.alumastmitfahnen.com || 성명 || 주식 || Проверки || Damen und Herren || и || видео || lv-bestbag || lv-bagshop || 밤세상)
Do this: Skip Inbox, Delete it

BIG FAT WARNING: This list is of course highly personal, and you should check how many in your inbox it matches, before installing it.

With this list in place I get about 10-15 spam a day and I can actually go through my spam box to look for false-positives. Sadly something that still happens way to often 🙁
