Mailing List Manager ("MLM") works like a charm for me for many lists to which I
am subscribed. But, as I subscribe to new things, problems sometimes arise.
An item comes in, say, from a new list and I find it in my inbox; I go to
Tools/MLM and I can signal it I want a new rule.
For some rules (those that then work OK), Entourage X fills in the name of the
list on the opening screen of a new MLM and I determine the folder into which I
want the messages routed, make other decisions, tap OK and all is well
thereafter. End of story: happy camper.
Alas, not all email that I think is sent from a list of some sort produces this
result. A large number of them put my email address in the "list address."
When that happens, all mail sent to me with that address winds up in the
designated folder, save that captured by an earlier MLM. (Note: at least one
such sender's email address does not contain the word "list" as within it,
should that be significant: is such bulk mail *not* a list, then?)
I did not find this discussed in the Entourage help pages, so turn here to be
guided or shamed, as the case may be.
Oh, at least one of the new items is one that my ISP's "Postini" spam filter
thought was such (wasn't). So, that email's internet headers are extensive and
complex (to this header neophyte). I could paste that into this inquiry if that
has a bearing, but spare all on round one from a lot of text that might not mean
anything.
I would really prefer to handle as much as possible by MLM instead of finicky
"rules". TIA
