Of course this should be possible at least, when using your own MTA instead of the SMTP server of your provider. > I was just thinking that If I told everyone that emails me to use a > specific header as a keyword or password, then I could easily filter out > the spam.

Honestly, I do not think this is an appropriate method to filter SPAM. There are a couple of good programs out there for this task. As you just want to filter on a "special Header", why not simply filter on a "special Phrase inside the body"? That way *all* your friends can do this easily.

There was some discussion about this some months ago and I even remember Python scripts posted here by Cliff Wells and HvR, that can do this. http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2003-March/028310.html http://lists.ximian.com/archives/public/evolution/2003-March/028314.html As Evolution has no such filter mechanism, basically you have to pipe the message to an external script (which checks against known addresses) and move the message based on the return value.
