Could I get a response on how to do it with IMail in rules as requested and not a Declude Commercial?

My recommendation would be not to use the FIVETENIGNORE test -- by definition, it will catch E-mail from large Internet providers such as Yahoo. That way, you get the best of both worlds -- you won't capture legitimate E-mail from Yahoo, and you will catch spam from @yahoo.com addresses. If you're using Declude JunkMail, you have the option (not recommended, though, as many spammers use @yahoo.com addresses) of whitelisting all E-mail to @yahoo.com (if you whitelist it, it will be delivered, no matter what). A number of our customers will set up a filter to reduce the weight of E-mail from @yahoo.com addresses, which can help make up for the FIVETENIGNORE and a few other spam tests that tend to list Yahoo. That, too, helps ensure that the legitimate mail gets through while blocking the spam. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
