You have now learned the futility of subject filters. Perhaps a white list filter would work better. Unfortunately I don't know how to set one of them up in procmail but have one set up and working in pine. As a stopgap measure in procmail, search for something like this, :0 HB * prescription spam
-- ----- That effectively searches both the header and body of the message for prescription and tosses those messages into the spam folder. I don't send anything to /dev/null automatically. I have a chance to look at it before taking further action. A white list filter's concept is there are people and lists that don't send you spam; their addresses are put onto a white list. Everyone on that white list goes into your inbox, everyone else goes into spam folder. A further wrinkle on a white list filter is the spam2go folder. See when I search spam, I find some good e-mail in it that won't be picked up by my white list just yet. So I deal with that e-mail accordingly and put the real spam into spam2go and then that empties the spam folder. That way when I next look at spam folder I'm not looking at any old messages since any old spam was already put into spam2go. What happens to the contents of spam2go? Well I enable display of full headers and select all messages when spam2go count gets to 50 messages happens every two days now and forward all messages as a mime digest to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Then I delete all messages from spam2go so it only gets new spam for [EMAIL PROTECTED] to check out. The federal trade commission sometimes takes some action against spam artists and corporations that sponsor spam when legal grounds can be found.GNU Linux a real operating system with a clu - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
