I may resort to that, but looking at some of the filters to automate it has given me vertigo, so I'm putting it off till I have a better understanding of the filtering thing. ACM You could also try the filter be exclusion technique. ACM This one is based on the fact that if you filter mail ACM from everyone you expect mail from then everything ACM else should be spam. I personally do the following in ACM the order mentioned: Yes .. this is where I'm headed. I'm now running into ordering issues, so have kept your list. tnx. ACM PS// To be truthful, since I've obtained a primary MX ACM Server for my domain mail, my spam message influx has ACM been reduced from 20 spam messages a day to 1-2 per ACM week. Not an option here for some time to come, unfortunately. Attractive, though :-) I appreciate all the input - Lynn -- 1.60q on Win2kPro SP2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

Re[2]: Filters again
Hi all - I just want to thank everybody who helped out with this filtering. I think it's working fairly well now, though it could use some tweaking. I'm hoping to do that without hollering help, though :-) Lynn -- 1.60q on Win2kPro SP2 [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * *Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed* * * Team OS/2 Current Ver: 1.61 FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Bug Reports: https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/

Put all your spam TM addresses in a 'spamers' AB group, then have your filter process TM against that AB group. That way you don't need to modify your filter TM each time you want to add a new spamer. All you would need to do is TM highlight the msg and Ctrl-W to add the new spamer to the AB Group and TM away you go... I'd rather not do this, if it can be avoided, but anyway ... see below ... TM btw, you would do this on the 'Advanced' tab most of the way to the TM bottom. Look for 'Address(es) must be listed in the address book:' TM section. I must be running an older version of TB than you are; the advanced tab in my sorting office/filters has no such box :-( I could upgrade, but have they fixed the memory leak does anybody know? Never mind, I probably wouldn't use the rtf viewer anyway ...

This setting has been there for quite a LG while now (as far back as my TB experience goes, which must be 1.47 LG Halloween Edition, IIRC). There is also a scroll bar on this tab which LG allows one to scroll down to more options. Yes, I found it .. but it only selects the default address book, so either you have to put all your spam addresses into your personal book (not acceptable), or have a separate spam AB as default .. also not workable. Unless I missed something? I really don't want to put a few hundred (thousand?) spam addys in there, even sorted to a separate group ..

I thought if I grouped them, or some of them at least, it would be more manageable. Maybe not .. it's a 'let's try this' thing .. shrug Some of the stuff I'm filtering is legit mail that I just want to route to a particular folder .. newsletter stuff that they garble by giving each one a new name. Arrgghh! DAC Second, at least when you have one item per filter, you can have DAC sender just be spammail.com, and then you will catch @spammail.com, DAC @one.spammail.com, @spamsender.spammail.com, etc. If you just do DAC spammail and leave off the dot com, you will also get DAC @smapmail.hotmail.com Aha ... so do I list this as 'sender', or as 'kludges', or what?
