It's a little subtler than that. If you look at the source of messages you get from a mailing list, you'll see that the "From" is the original sender, and that the "To" is the mailing list, not you. (The list then redirects the message on to its members without replacing the "To" in the headers.) So regular rules looking for the list as the "From" won't find list messages. That's one of the reasons the MLM was invented - then they added a lot more clever things too. So if you put anything other than a mailing list into the MLM it probably wouldn't do what you expect, since there are virtually no other kinds of messages you get that are To someone else (unless you get a lot of redirects from a particular person). And the MLM rules operate only if the "To", nit the "From" is a mailing list (or something masquerading as one). There's almost no use putting anything else in the MLM. Then, as Diane says, MLM rules work only on mailing lists which you have entered in the MLM. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
