To be honest, no, I have not checked on this myself. I have a couple of huge groups defined that were imported from a list of addresses collected by a program in our office, that recorded the address of everyone who wrote the company. Over a thousand. I also have a rule that, if someone who writes me is "in any group", files the mail in a group folder. So I never get that condition tested. That is, I don't know if messages that might look like spam, but come from someone who is in a group in my address book but is NOT entered as a full contact, will be skipped by JMF.
It seems <possible> that, if Entourage can check to see if an address is in a group, that it might include group-only addresses in JMF's "is it in the Address Book" check. The info you quoted from my message was, in fact, quoted from someone else's message. I didn't verify every detail, I presumed (since he made a point of mentioning groups) that he had checked it. It would not be an easy thing to verify, however!
