Making the rules is a little more complicated than it is with OE or other programs. I have one like this 'if the from field contains [EMAIL PROTECTED] consider the message to be legitimate'. But the rule has a string of to: addresses as well -- other names people use for me -- that are regarded as legitimate. So far (10 days) all my normal mail is coming in and spam is not.
