Hi;
Just a side note... 

We have found that filtering on Headers is quite effective if it also has
the blacklist.

At times spammers use a Hotmail or other free email accounts but they have
their blacklisted address in the FROM that shows up in the HEADER.  So what
we have is not only a DELETE action on our blacklist but also a HEADER
CONTAINS the blacklist as a weight of HOLD.

It is amazing how many times this test stops a SPAM which would have not
been caught otherwise.

Regards,
Kami

Only the first one will work.

The key here is that Declude JunkMail is looking at the *entire* headers 
(it isn't going through each one, line-by-line).  So "IS" would only work 
if you had the entire headers in the filter.
