Hopefully the BBedit list will find this appropriate;
I just got down SpamSieve and it is probably what I need as the
mail.app junk filter lets too much stuff through.
But since this is a list with a lot of scripters and people who know
about scripts;
is there a script out there that would let me select all the
messages in a particular inbox, make a list of who I received the
mesaages from, make the list unique (no duplicates) and then create
an email with all of the addresses in the list in the Bcc field?
I run an SMTP server which would allow me to take my now spam-laden
address and turn it into a spamtrap. But I need to alert everyone
who is a legitimate client about my changing over to a new address.
If not, does anyone know how I can get a list of all those addresses
and maybe I can monkey around in BBedit myself.
Any hints,tips or advice is appreciated.
Heh, I thought this was going to turn out to ask about Mailsmith. :D

Dunno about a script (I still haven't gotten around to writing one for Eudora).
Have you thought of whitelisting the senders and only blocking email
if the sender isn't in that list? Well you'd still need to get the
list I guess. :)
But basically I suppose you'd loop through the messages in each
mailbox, get the address, see if it's in your output list, and if
not, append it to the list. Then you'd do whatever with the list.
How's that for pseudocode? LOL
The tricky part is navigating multiple mailboxes if your program is
set up that way. I think that's why I haven't found my round tuit yet.
