Oh boy..

Thanks for the enlightenment!! :)

I'm now trying those Spamcop filters from the TB FAQ, but I'm not sure if
they work as intended. Here's what I found:

- Shouldn't the first stage filter (that creates a spam submission
message) be set to "manual only"? Wouldn't it otherwise automatically
respond to any incoming message that fulfills the criterion of having
a '.' in its kludges? Of course the Ctrl-Alt-S trigger is also set,
but I don't know if that will override automatic execution..

- The file to export to (C:\TEMP\EXPORT.TXT) was set correctly when I
pasted the filter into the sorting office, but the "Export to File"
action itself was not activated. Also, "append to existing file" was
set, which I think will inadvertently report any previously sent spam
along with the current spam message. I've changed that into
"overwrite". The export format was "Text", is that alright? The "quote
kludges" was Off, and I've turned that on.

I hope I made the correct changes (and if so, maybe the author of the
filter should update this FAQ section?). I'm using TB 1.60q.

Best regards,
