Hello Mark,


On  Sunday, September 17, 2000  at  22:55:52 GMT +0100 (which was 2:55 PM
where I live) witnesses say Mark R Harding typed:

It doesn't require much thought for my idea.

Just have your shutdown request message take the form:

Subject: Mark Says Exit
Body:  Password: 102030405

Then make the main rule of the filter look like:

String                    Location             Presence
Mark Says Exit            Subject              Yes
Password: 102030405       Text                 Yes
Mark                      Sender               Yes

The password would help reduce the chance that some other Mark could
send you a message with the word exit in the subject and trigger your
filter.
