SA Blacklist for Display Names?

["Daniel R." <dr...@sawag.com>]

Hi All,
we get a lot of Spam with some bad Words in the Display name of the sender.
With the blacklist_from command it is possible to filter by email-address,
but what is the right notation for filtering the display name of the sender?

can you please helb me?

Thanks a lot,

bye Daniel

At present you can only match strings in the From: header, so add a
local rule in /etc/mail/spamassassin/local.cf something like this:

describe XX_BADWORDS Bad words in the sender name
header   XX_BADWORDS From =~ /bad words pattern/i
score    XX_BADWORDS 5.0

See http://wiki.apache.org/spamassassin/WritingRules for a fuller
explanation.
