Hi Mike, I am thinking that you may not have your eMail filters in the correct order. One would typically put your white list first (those that deal with known good eMails) and then your spam filters last. This would sort the known good ones to their proper place first and then the possible spams to their place.
One of my first filters are eMails with RBASE-L in the subject which directs them to their own folder. After all my mailing list filters I then filter those who are in my address book to their own folder. The rest are routed to my Junk folder. The Junk folder ends up being 99% spam. One tip I recently learned that has really helped out is that if you look at the headers you will find that most spam will only contain your email address and not your name whereas normal emails will contain your name also. I send all eMails without my name to the Junk folder. Best regards, Mike Young On Fri, 17 Oct 2003 16:57:01 -0500, MikeB wrote: >For What It's Worth.
