Theoritically yes, because the filters are checked from top to bottom until there is a match. I receive 100-200 mails a day which are filtered, and the filtering is lightning fast, so I don't think I would notice a difference if I change the order of the filters. However, the amount of my filters is less than yours; if you think the filtering is "slow", you can take that approach to save CPU time. > I know that the Account Log records the firing of any filter, but are there any > other locations that TB keeps statistics on the firing of filters, which I could > use to determine the relative ordering? I know only about the Account logs. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.
