This is how I deal with that plague: I have a seperate address for PM, and that one does hardly get any spam, and it hasn't received Swen (yet?). The addresses for NGs and MLs are set to not download message over 50KB but delete them right on the server (Account / Properties / Mail Management). If you are on lists with large attachments, this won't work for you, though. > In that effort, it helps much when mailing list messages have a > subject line that begins with [ML topic], such as [proxomitron], > [timematters], etc. If you are talking about positive identification for "good" mails, I don't know how you could set TB to kill everything right on the server that does *not* contain the trigger strings, so maybe you are using incoming filters. You can easily filter on the Reply-To to identify list messages, the same way you would filter on the subject. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
