Tools

Add one line for each friend address :

• friend@myfriend.com for individual friends
• myfriend.com to add entire domain

Go to tools

To get a good filtering accuracy it is necessary to train the Markovian spam filter

Just do as demonstrated here.

First check your email with SpamRIP

The Markovian filter has not been trained, so each incoming email is seen as a friend (first column is green)

BUT, the first emails come from Spamcop blacklisted addresses or blacklisted countries (see above, the country filter), so SpamRIP automatically proposes teaching the Markovian filter recognizing these emails as foe.

Just accept (i.e. click on "Process messages") and SpamRIP will :

• delete the selected messages directly on your remote mailboxes
  and LEARN
• All other emails are non affected

Now, just "Clear all data" (red cross) and "Receive all messages" again, SpamRIP will read again all your incoming messages taking into account what he just learn.

The Markovian filter proposes (rightfully) to consider most incoming messages as spam.

Change the status of those emails the various filters have no yet recognized correctly, here an email is coming from a "friend" source but is recognized as spam by the Markovian filter

The Markovian filter is right, so change the check-box accordingly (uncheck "Change & lean", check "Delete") before processing the emails.

Process by clicking on "Process messages"

When processing messages the actions noted in checkboxes are performed.

Remember, it will take some time before the Markovian filter have learn enough to be 99.9 % accurate.
