How would you create a filter for a poster that continually changes
the email address like this poster,if you want to see examples look at
uk.legal

Neither "From" nor "Sender" addresses should be used nor needed for
filters on a list like this, under most all circumstances.

Receiving filters should use the "To" & "Cc" entry to catch this list
address (<[email protected]>). Ignore "From" &
"Sender" entries - under most all circumstances.

Everybody should post to this list with the "To" & "Reply-To" entry set
to this list address <[email protected]> under most
all circumstances!

That should simplify everybodies life here!


Sorry, MRoss, but are you suggesting that the OP should filter out/ignore everybody that posts here using the lists?? Seems a bit harsh to me!!

No Sir! That would be harsh & ridiculous! I obviously misunderstood your focus & need, thinking you were trying to capture my address(that changed a few times), not exclude it. So I suggested capturing the Seamonkey list address to simplify the process, capturing everybody that posted to it.

I filter what I want from an inbox & send it to another folder first, leaving the rest behind for other filters to figure out.

You obviously want to filter what you do not want from an inbox & send it to trash? maybe? to start with?

My suggestions work to exclude any email "Not" - "To" or "Cc" this list address <[email protected]!

However, if a uk.legal poster sends an email to Seamonkey list, under my suggestions, it gets through! And now I understand you do not want it?

OK, So I would set a filter to capture any "uk.legal" address part & route it to where you want it to go; trash?!

Obviously is you want some uk.legal & not all, more filtering is required, & email addresses must be used at some point to be selective. If addresses periodically change, that is an addressbook/filter update project to deal with.

I hope this clarifies my prior post.
