How about just including DXP anywhere in the Subject if it's DXP related and not 99SE or prior?
I think most of us have some sort of mail filter that could sort it. I current use the PEDA string to get it into a Protel mail folder, away from my regular inbox. I could search for DXP to subdivide if further.
