Hello Marcel,
On Monday, September 25, 2000 at 19:51:15 GMT +0200 (which was 10:51 AM
where I live) witnesses say Marcel typed:

If I remember right, don't they always put Xoom.com in their subject
field? It has been a while since I've been spammed by them, but if
I'm right, you could just search on the subject line.
> The address Xoom uses to send the email is different everytime.
> They use the message-ID in the From: so every message is unique
> (Argh).
Is it of the form *@xoom.com? If it is, then you can use the very
simple regexp
\d*@xoom.com
You seem to be familiar with regexps, so I won't explain it... :)

Well, the syntax for regular expressions in templates and in filters
are slightly different. In Templates you are trying to capture part
of a string, so you have to use the macros. But in the filters, you
are trying to simply match the string, so you just need the regular
expression itself. Don't include the macros.
What you seem to be trying to filter is any messages have the same
message ID as From address. As far as I know, this isn't possible to
do in TB. But I think there might be easier solutions. Can you send
some headers from a couple of these newsletters (perhaps you could
post them to a website and post a link here).

Thanks for writing,
