Automating Spam

Hi Guys

I don’t (as a novice) applescripter know if this is possible or not but thought I’d ask this board if it was possible to make an applescript to automate the following:

Open a browser
Go to a password protected page
Enter the password
Search for certain keywords in a messages - specifically spam type headings like “meds”)
“Finish” the message (ie mark as read/bounce etc)
Repeat

Is this possible “ I must have to manually finish at least a hundred a day spam messages.

Cheers!

I guess you could curl the mail list page, parse it, and then submit whatever url or form submit is used to finish a message, but what a pain. How about just getting a different mail reader with a spam blocker? Or talk to the server admin about putting something in.

It will depend on the browswer you are using. If you use keywords in messages, you will always have the possibility of deleting messages you didn’t want to, so be very careful if you come upon a script designed to do this.
