Hi, Thomas. Ok, perhaps it can be done this way: The filter becomes active after my server hits a certain date. That way, if the sender's computer has the wrong date, it won't affect the filter on my end. I guess what I'm looking for is a way to put in a filter that becomes active at a certain date/time, so I can put it in at the time of hire, instead of trying to remember it when his contract expires.
