I don't know what TB's default setting is. I think ask before sending, but I've set it to ignore always. It is possible to create a filter that checks for reading confirmations. I don't know what the right header is, but you can set a read filter that checks whether the recipient is in your AB and checks for the presence of the appropriate header.

On 5/21/04, at 1:01 AM, Gene Brown sent the following: GB BayesIT had been working pretty well for me up until upgrading to the GB current TB version with the built-in plug-in. I tried to bring it up to GB speed by running through all my old junk mail as well as a collection of GB good mail, but it still wasn't catching much after about a week of operation GB and I was wondering what was wrong. Go to check and see what version of BayesIT you have, I will guess that it is something other than 0.4. That is what I found out, once I deleted out the BayesIT that was installed with the program and put 0.4 in things seem to be working fine now. It was just last night that I did this so haven't had much chance to really check it, but it has caught some and before I wasn't catching any. If you go to the website and then to Knowledge Base you will find an article about the BayesIT filter and where to get the latest version.

Melissa, most will do it by using two separate filters. The very last filter in your list should be labelled SPAM, and with that you do this: Strings: e Location: Anywhere Presence: Yes Move To: Trash The second to last filter is where you filter anything that has your address in it, and you can name it PERSONAL. Here you list all your addresses under Strings (only one though on the first tab, and the rest go under Alernatives/Add Set because it provides the or argument) as the Recipient, and leave the messages in the Inbox.
