I have not counted my spams but it seems that the "and somebody else"
case
and the
"not me" case both appear in high quantities.
Yep. I have rules for both of those cases, and they do moderately well.
However, how well they will do is very dependent on your personal
situation.
I don't expect to get any mail that is cc-ed to other people on earthlink,
so that is an easy spam check. At work such a rule would never work,
because I get things cc-ed to many other people there all the time.
I use more than two CC to earthlink. Sometimes we're on the same lists.

Also, a rule that checks to see if my name appears in the ToCc list will
fail for most mailing lists. Since I'm not on very many of those, I just
have them whitelisted sufficiently to get around the negative hit for not
having my name.
I have the mailing list problem. So I do not demand ToCc to have me in it.
But if earthlink appears it better have me in it then it better also have
me in it and no more than one other. It also better be to the correct format
earthlink address. (THAT really is a good spam trap.)
