OK. All this does is to ensure that this filter is applied first so
that if you wish to filter private mail from TBUDL subscribers, you
don't accidentally filter mail from them that's sent to TBUDL.

It sounds silly, but make sure that you are creating the filter for
the correct account. I've personally made a mistake like this. :)

This is why I personally use such a non-specific filter, though I'm
sure that more specific filtering is successfully used by other
subscribers.
What my filter is doing is selecting all messages in which
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]' occurs anywhere in the RFC Headers. You
could try a filter for the message body using a string that appears in
the TBUDL signature but that's dangerous IMO since messages could
potentially leak through. I'd generally avoid using message body
strings as filtering criteria.
Check your string syntax as well.
Do you have the string in quotes? If so, then it's now case sensitive
which may mess things up. Check stuff like this first. With the filter
rule I gave you, do not need to use any special syntax.
