Mark, wouldn't anything found by AltSet 1, 2 or 3 would also be found
by MainSet?  Also, the docs aren't clear which PCRE options are set.
Clearly, since you're searching kludges, you what to make sure '.'
finds '\n' - so you might need (?s).

Why not 00a.+,a.+,a.+,a.+, here?

I do something similar.  After all my 'normal' filters, one of my new
spam filters, looks like this:

MainSet:  ,.*,.*,                   Present in Recipient
AltSet1:  @[EMAIL PROTECTED]  Present in Recipient

The first catches 4 or more addresses in either the To: or CC:
The second catches 2 or more of my domain in To: or CC:

>From my testing, Recipient appears to, in effect, build a ToList and a
CcList.  As I mentioned, this filter is new and I haven't had much
experience with it yet - but it caught my test mails.

Thanks for your thoughts on this subject.  I like doing these things
directly in TB instead of with utilities that pre-read my mail (and
give me less control).
