I use a firewall which inspects incoming email. If it meets some criteria it adds the term spam: the the first part of the subject line. I can filter on that
But ... I am a beta tester of their product and, on occasion, the thing mis-tags a good email.... The latest one being from Goncalo Farias <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> in TBBETA ... Now then I have a filter that looks for the first word being spam: then colour-code the message to my designated colour for spam and continue filtering because it may turn out to NOT be spam and if so I need to bundle it off to the programmers so they can tweak their settings. Otherwise, if it runs the gambit and IS spam, I bundle it to the FTC site where they wave toilet paper at it. There is a second-from-the-last filter which asks is message colour-coded spam? AND is first recipient in MY <Lists> address-group? YES? format to the programmers the last filter formats to the FTC now then, Goncalo's email, you may see in TBBETA has as first recip Robert D. <[email protected]> that would be ME my Lists group in the AB has [email protected] and a first name of TBBETA the filter ALWAYS fails this one rule and moves on but does not send to FTC either because it fails that one too by virtue of really belonging to the friends group and not the spams group. Why does the filter miss the fact that the first recipient is in the AB-group Lists ???? And I want more choices from which to select ... you all recognize that List traffic has often strange to and reply-to stuff, right? It ain't regular, me-to-you, type email headers and they all ain't the same .... are not the same, if you area an English grammar freak. -- Regards, Robert D. :flag-us-ky: _________________________ The Bat!
