An addendum to my prior post: The to and to-file filter rules do not apply to list serve addresses by the time they get to you. By the time you receive the email it's no longer to the listserve, but to you yourself. If you really wanted to use a to or to-file rule, you would first need to subscribe to the listserve with a unique address such as a pseudo keyword address such as [EMAIL PROTECTED] then the following rule would work:
to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok This can be made more generic by substituting the pseudokey with a pseudokey-value pair such as list-listname or web-sitename when subscribing and pairing them with rules like these: to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ok Or a pseudokey file and a to-file rule: to-file ~/.tmda/lists/pseudokey-revoked drop to-file ~/.tmda/lists/pseudokey ok And pseudokey would contain entries like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] While pseudokey-revoked would contain specific addresses that you have chosen to revoke for what ever reason: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] >-----Original Message----- >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jared >Sent: Friday, March 12, 2004 10:12 AM >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: Suggestions on wildcarding? > >What's the easiest way to allow the mailing lists I'm subscribed to >through?
