Wait a minute. Won't that move any e-mail from friends on the same email server?

love it! that's the ticket, cause I'm always getting things like instead of dlg111, 
dmg111, dlfrost1, all that.

Dear Rich,

MDP BeginFilter
MDP Name: Only Richie's Mail
MDP Active: 1
MDP Source: \Inbox
MDP Target: \Trash
MDP MainSet: 10Richie[^g]
MDP Actions: faMarkRead,faoRegExp
MDP EndFilter

... snip

RG Thanks, Marck. You (and the others here) are always very helpful
RG and it is much appreciated. I, on the other hand, (almost)
RG always seem to miss something I should have known at the
RG beginning!!!

Ain't it always the way?

RG After implementing the filter it seemed to be working as
RG intended BUT I forgot there is legit email I get as richieT,
RG so...

RG Can we tweak the filter so it allows EITHER richieG OR richieT
RG but no other richieX matxches?

Just open up the sorting office, go to the filter and edit where it
says:

Richie[^g]

and make it

Richie[^gt]

simple as that!

RG I might also mention that I have other legit addresses at
RG mydomain.com and other domains I get email on.

RG Maybe it's best I use examples to plead for help!

RG Good addresses might be:
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RG Bad addresses would be
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RG   [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RG Thanks again. (And yes, I was really enjoying the way it
RG was working until that other email got canned!)

LOL! That should work fine for you. It's only checking that if the
name is richie, it is followed by g or t, otherwise - it's for the
trash. Any other address (that doesn't mention richie) falls below
the sights and gets through.

Copy that block (including BeginFilter and EndFilter) to the
clipboard. Open your sorting office, open and click into the
Incoming mail folder (anywhere) and press Ctrl-V. Use the Move
Up/Down to position the filter for optimum effect.

Enjoy.

 Assume a legit email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED]

 A filter to DISALLOW any random variant combinations, such as
 richier or richiew, but would allow (of course) my legit
 richieg.

 Any ideas, you TB! code barons? 

One of variants is that you make a Selective Download filter and allow
only specifically addressed mail to get through it. One of these
addresses would be that with legit richieg.

But, with a such filter one should be careful, since you could find that
you deleted what you wouldn't want (althoguh you would know that from
LOG).

Example for something like that is: Selective Download - Rule: Entire
header | Advanced: Action - Kill, Detection method - None of strings
should match.

In a such filter I have all addresses of things I'm subscribed in, plus
few modes of my own address. E.g.:

To: Mica Mijatovic blueness
To: Mica Mijatovic blueness
To: blueness@
Reply-To: tbudl@
Reply-To: tbtech@
Reply-To: tbot@

etc. It works pretty good, and kills a lot of spam.

If some other baron(ess) has another idea I'd like to hear.
