Re: how can i filter out email that has no to addressee
Howdy Laura, Thursday, January 5, 2006, 5:47:11 AM, Laura wrotened: awc I'm wondering if anyone knows a way to filter the following types of awc email: Well i'll suggest some... probably someone else will know better... When a mail comes in that is junk select it... go to the specials and have the bat create a filter for it? awc 1 - has special symbols (not a-z, A-Z, 0-9) Text does not contain awc 2 - the addressee or from name is blank Sender does not contain @ awc 3 - is an HTML email file .html is attached awc I am getting so sick of all this junk stuff!! And a lot of those awc really would cut down my spam. But how else will you find out about Ciallis awc OH! and is there a way to text edit the filters? I really don't like awc the darn pull down dialogues that have been the latest rage since they awc redid the filter function. I think there is a way of importing them from the clipboard.

Filters in v3
Hi, I'm having a problem with filters since upgrading to v3. In v2, I had x number of filters which stopped messages from being placed in my inbox, and moved them as they were received into certain folders. As the last filter (which I named 'Spam'), I had a filter with nothing in it. What this did was that any messages not caught by any of the filters above it, was moved into the Spam folder, and deleted. This worked well in v2. Now, I've upgrade to v3, and what happens is that all my messages go straight to Spam and are deleted! The email messages are not seemingly being caught by the filters above the Spam rule, and I can't work out why. I haven't changed anything (folder structure etc) - only upgraded to v3. I thought it might have been the 'continue processing with other filters' option working differently in v3 than it did in v2, so to test, I unchecked it on the rule just above the Spam rule. Instead of sending messages to the Spam folder and deleting them, it now just sends them to the inbox instead. Can anyone give me some hints so I can try and work out why the filters don't seem to be working in v3? -- Chris Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hallo Chris, On Thu, 5 Jan 2006 23:13:38 +1100GMT (5-1-2006, 13:13 +0100, where I live), you wrote: C Can anyone give me some hints so I can try and work out why the C filters don't seem to be working in v3? You mentioned that you unchecked 'continue processing with other filters'. The function of this option hasn't been changed in v3, but what it always had as function was a follows: A message is compared with the filters until it matches one. When a filter is triggered by a message, that message won't be compared with the conditions for the filters under the triggered filter, but when your triggered filter has the 'continue with..' option checked the message is checked against the following filters (until it matches a filter without that option checked) From your description it appears that you're having the option checked for all filters and that would mean that all messages will be caught by your catch all filter at the bottom. And you're complaining that that happens as it should, why that didn't happen with your v2 install is something that I don't understand. Probably something was corrupted and the conversion to v3 fixed this. So my first suggestion would be to drop the 'continue processing..' option for all filters. -- Groetjes, Roelof Apple (c) Copyright 1767, Sir Isaac Newton The Bat! 3.64.01 Christmas Edition Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM pgp1PK0EBIVaF.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Chris, I'm having a problem with filters since upgrading to v3. ... ... Can anyone give me some hints so I can try and work out why the filters don't seem to be working in v3? Three things: 1.- Exactly which v3 are you using? 2.- While you get your filters to work I would suggest you change your Spam filter to NOT delete messages. 3.- Can you copypaste one of your filters here in the list? To do so, in case you don't know, just select the name of one of your filters and Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in your reply. -- Best regards, Miguel A.

Hi Roelof, Ok, I've removed the check from all the continue processing options. I thought that option was to tell The Bat! to continue with the other filters if it didn't find a match for the first filter, which is why I had them all checked. If The Bat! continues on with all the other filters if the very first one doesn't match, than all the better. Anyway, I will see if removing the check fixes the problem. -- Groetjes, Roelof Apple (c) Copyright 1767, Sir Isaac Newton The Bat! 3.64.01 Christmas Edition Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 1 pop3 account, server on LAN OTFE enabled P4 3GHz 2 GB RAM -- Chris Current version is 3.64.01 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Chris,

Can anyone give me some hints so I can try and work out why the
filters don't seem to be working in v3?
Three things:
1.- Exactly which v3 are you using?
2.- While you get your filters to work I would suggest you change your
Spam filter to NOT delete messages.
3.- Can you copypaste one of your filters here in the list? To do so,
in case you don't know, just select the name of one of your filters and
Ctrl+C and then Ctrl+V in your reply.
Hi Miguel,
1. v3.64.01
2. Ok, done. Now all the messages just go to the inbox.
3. TB! Message Filter
beginFilter
UID: [B9153070.01C60E1A.5B96D817.1622DA7A]
Name: Lists
Filter: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
MoveMessage folder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IsActive
Ignore
IsSendQueue
endFilter
The 'Spam' filter itself (straight after the upgrade), consisted of:
TB! Message Filter
beginFilter
UID: [D5505438.01C611BF.617A6912.6629D95E]
Name: Spam
Filter: {\0D\0A\20`21\0D\0A}
MoveMessage folder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IsActive
Ignore
endFilter
This was with the Sender field contains nothing. I thought that may have been
the problem, so I changed it to:
TB! Message Filter
beginFilter
UID: [D5505438.01C611BF.617A6912.6629D95E]
Name: Spam
Filter: {\0D\0A\20`21\0D\0A}
MoveMessage folder [EMAIL PROTECTED]
IsActive
Ignore
endFilter
which is Any Message. That wasn't the problem I worked out - because neither of
them work.
