Python script to move spam emails allegedly from "me" to the spam folder. This script uses IMAP to connect to your email. The matching algorithm is extremely specific to emails that have been flooding my inbox starting about June 2022. These emails appear to have been sent by my email address (or yours) and they contain several links to https://storage.googleapis.com.
Configure as many mailboxes as you need to process in the mailboxes.yml configuration file. The format is as follows:
mailboxes:
john:
email: john.doe@gmail.com
password: 123456
imap-host: imap.sample.com
spam-folder: INBOX.Spam
jane:
email: jane.doe@gmail.com
password: 789101
imap-host: imap.sample.com
spam-folder: INBOX.Spam
* Obviously you will need to modify the configuration in mailboxes.yml to meet your personal needs (i.e., the configuration of your IMAP mailboxes).
To run all configurations:
python mespam.yml
To run a specific configuration:
python mespam.yml john
- First clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/franzone/MeSpam.git MeSpam
- Second, modify MeSpam/mailboxes.yml appropriately
- Finally, create a crontab entry to run it:
# Runs every 15 minutes
*/15 * * * * cd $HOME/MeSpam && python3 mespam.py
- Python >= 3.10
- IMAP account that allows remote authentication using email address and password
