Instead of using the <To:> option, use the <To or Cc> option and just leave the second one blank. Also make sure that this filter is at the top of the list - use the up/down buttons. For example I have a spam filter which is set up like this: <To or Cc> doesn't contain [EMAIL PROTECTED] -->transfer Trash But if this spam filter is *above* the mailing list filter it will send mailing list items to the trash, so it is placed below. In other words KMail checks against my debian-kde and debian-user filters before it checks against my various spam filters. For spam that has my email address in it, I've got a couple of other filters lined up, most of them involving common spam subject words, such as ADV [don't know what this is but it's always spam] rich viagra xxx lolita Windows Reliability ...etc. It's quite satisfying to watch the spam accumulate in the trash and not in the inbox :) -- David P.
