I use a similar technique that has 4 different types of filters: 1. Messages from Senders in my address book. My address book has a single entry called "Mailing Lists" that contains, in the "E-Mail address(es)" field, a list of the Sender addresses of *all* the mailing lists to which I'm subscribed. 2. Messages from mailing lists without a reliable Sender address. This filter contains segments of addresses from mailing lists that either change their Sender address with every message or have a variety of different Sender addresses. Ex: amazon.com, ebay.com, etc. The Sender segments are separated by "|", the "OR" symbol. 3. Messages from identifiable spam Senders. Such messages are routed to Trash. 4. Everything else is sent to a "Probably Spam" folder. This strategy works very well and is simple to maintain. regards, Andy [Using The Bat! 1.53t under Windows 2000 Pro SP2 on a "made from scratch" PIII-500 MHz/384 MB RAM] -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
