Summary: Need filter on envelope to
Product: kontact
Version: 1.2
Platform: unspecified
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs kde org
ReportedBy: kde linstrum net
Version: 1.2 (using 4.0.4 (KDE 4.0.4 >= 20080505) "release 15.2",
openSUSE 11.0 (i586))
Compiler: gcc
OS: Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae
The "Create Filter/Filter on To..." option in Kontact is insufficient because
much of the email I receive is directed to me as a cc: recipient - especially
spam mail, and the "Filter on To" option does not seem to work when my email
address is in the cc field.
Background: One of the strategies I use to get rid of spam is to give each
potential spammer a unique email address (i.e. "kde myurl net") Then if I
start getting spam to that address, I simply filter all email going to that
address to a spam folder so I never have to see it. Well, I guess spammers are
on to this trick because they get around it by addressing spam recipients in
the "CC:" field so that the "Filter on To.." option gets bypassed.
Proposed Fix: Either the "Filter on To" option should filter on the "envelop
to" field in the header (which appears to be the true address for how the email
reaches me), or there should be a "Filter on cc to" option.
Thanks for all the great work.
