You guessed it -- a file of email addresses whose email you don't want to see. It actually stems from Usenet since you couldn't reject newsgroup postings (everyone on the server needs access to them) but the killfile would prevent certain posters' postings from appearing in your newsreader.Hey all :)Sorry for the dumb question... But I keep seeing people talk about a killfile. Seeing as how this is the first list I've ever subscribed to, I had to ask - what exactly is a killfile?
Same diff. Note that I couldn't get Outlook filters to work very effectively -- it seemed that for some reason I'd get lots of mail slipping right through them. I think partly because Outlook uses some complex wizard to help decide for you how to filter the email, rather than just letting you say "move all messages with ____ content in ____ email header to ____ folder". That's the main reason I moved to Mozilla for mail. (Very satisfied with it, btw.)Without pointing fingers, there are some poster(s) I'd like to block. I know I can block the address, or set up a rule in Outlook to automatically move messages from a specific address to the deleted items folder... But I was just curious if this killfile was something different, and more effective.
