Is this peculiar to the "exclusive" setting of JMF? My JMF is on the "high" setting, and it does catch these spams. In fact I have been using a strategy similar to what Barry describes above, but I use it to bypass the JMF, classifying messages that I send between my accounts as NOT spam. Rule: Don't Classify as Junk From: Is me Specific header: Fnork Is: garbanzo Change status: Not Junk E-mail Set category: None -- Julian Vrieslander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- 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/>
