Custom spam filter


  • Subject: Custom spam filter

There are certain types of spam that Mail can never seem to identify, so I wrote a short script to be triggered by a rule. It does a very good job of finding the junk that usually flies in under the radar, but for some reason, I cannot seem to get it to move the spam into the Junk mailbox.

At first, I thought it would be as simple as: move theMessage into mailbox "Junk". That did absolutely nothing. Then I tried: set junk mail status of theMessage to true. This seemed to do the right thing, but only after I selected everything in the In box and apply the rules manually. It would not process the messages out as they were coming in.

I also set the background color of messages the script decides are spam to make sure it was doing something, at least. The colors did indeed change, so I think I'm almost there. What am I missing? (I'm running 10.4.8 on an Intel iMac, btw.)
