Januk,

Regarding your message dated: 17 September 2000...

JA> Just have your shutdown request message take the form:

JA> Subject: Mark Says Exit
JA> Body:  Password: 102030405

JA> Then make the main rule of the filter look like:

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

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

Aha!  I was jumping in too deeply then by thinking about trying to
implement something which contained some extra security to perhaps
hide the password or similar.  I haven't a clue how I'd do that right
now by the way!  (And I'm tired - all together now...)

Yep, the above set of rules would be the way to go to avoid irritating
mistakes.  Thanks for explaining/expanding on the original point.

Best wishes,

Mark.
