SpamSieve has code to undo that kind of spacing trick, i.e. to put the words back together. So ordinarily, this shouldn't be a problem. If there are particular messages that are giving you trouble, please send exports of them to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and I will examine them. > How can I create a filter rule, or a RegExp in SpamSieve, that would > oust out anything containing a series of single letters separated by > single spaces? I don't recommend doing that, because there are actually quite a number of legitimate messages that space-out words, or have sequences of letters that *look* like spaced-out words. -- Michael Tsai <http://www.c-command.com>
