consider splitting your rules up.... domain rules to filter attachments, kill DNSBL-tagged mail only. This will let properly addressed mail that doesn't fail these tests to correctly deliver to the intended recipient mailbox
then on your "junk" mailbox to which your nobody alias is pointed you can put in your delete rule, something like header contains any character (.) delete if that's what you want...this mailbox will only catch the messages that were not properly addressed. aliases are resolved to their final delivery mailboxes first, then domain rules are applied, then user rules are applied if they are present for the final delivery mailbox. If you're seeing mail slip past the domain rules, perhaps the rules need to be refined. Catching attachements in the body is particularly tricky, and there have been numerous posts on how to structure them to be effective using character counts etc. Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: Oblio To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 2:16 PM Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] nobody alias supercedes domain filters Here are my filters.
