Cleverly back up the Foxmail junk list

Since Foxmail 5.0, Foxmail has made a very significant improvement in anti-spam: "blacklisting" and whitelisting.

When receiving an email, Foxmail first uses the "blacklist" to judge the email. If the sender's E-mail address or name is included in the "blacklist", the email is judged as garbage. The mail is transferred directly to the "waste box", and then filtered using the Bayesian method. If it is judged to be spam, the mail will be directly transferred to the "junk mail box".

However, before using the Bayesian method to filter spam, you first need to let Foxmail learn a batch of spam and non-spam, and collect the feature words in the message to generate garbage lexicon and non-spam. The library, in the future based on the frequency of these words appearing in the mail as the basis for judging spam, so the operation is relatively cumbersome.

For this reason, we do not use the Bayesian method to filter spam more often. Instead, we select the "Add to Blacklist" command from the context menu when we receive spam, or Open the "Tools → Anti-Spam Settings → Blacklist" window (Figure 1), click the "Add" button here to manually create a "blacklist", or you can send the mail from the "blacklist" directly to the waste. In the box.

The whitelist records the contact name and email address that will not send you spam, all contacts in the address book The information and the contact address of the email you have sent will be automatically added to the whitelist. You can import it directly from the address book when you first use it, or you can manually execute the Import from Mailbox command.

Although Foxmail 5.0 provides such a convenient "blacklist" and whitelisting feature, unfortunately the program does not provide the ability to back up the two lists, so that if the system crashes or reinstalls the system, The whitelist is better to say that we can quickly create it by importing the address book, but the "blacklist" may only be added one by one. Is there any way to save trouble?

Go to the installation directory of Foxmail5.0 and find the "AntiSpam" folder. You can see that there are two files, black.lst and white.lst, which correspond to the "blacklist" and whitelist respectively. Depending on the number of "black" whitelists, it is usually tens of kilobytes. We only need to back up these two files. After reinstalling the system or reinstalling the software, copy it over to overwrite the original file.

Attachment: In Outlook Express, the anti-spam is blocked by the “block senders” list. You can open the “Mail Rules → Block Sender List” window from the “Tools” menu, as shown in the figure. 2, click the "Add" button to manually create a list of senders, in fact, this is similar to Foxmail's "blacklist", all future mail from the "blocked senders" list will be automatically transferred to " In the Deleted Items folder, when you need to back up this list, you can achieve the purpose by exporting the account. There is not much to say here.
