I just took a look there. Unfortunately it provides almost no information about "Spamslayer". Before downloading it I would want to know if it allows you to construct more powerful email filters than Mozilla does, but the web page has absolutely nothing to say about SpamSlayer's capabilities. I bookmarked SpamSlayer for now and I'll take another look sometime in the future to see if its developers have had a chance to work on documentation. I've done just enough programming to know how hard it can be to find time for that ;) What I am looking for at the moment is the ability to filter messages containing any two (or more) digit sequence *before* the "@" sign in the sender's address. Currently this is impossible with Mozilla - you can filter based on the entire sender's address, but if you don't want your filter to look at the domain part of the address you are screwed. And in my case it also seems to mean I would have to write 100 filters - one for each of the possible two digit combinations from "00" to "99". Oh, well. Time to go looking in Bugzilla to look for a bug about adding regular expression capabilities to mail filters.
