No. It is an interesting idea. The problem is that unless someone submits a patch, I'm the one that would end up doing it, and even with a patch, I'd need to audit it. I'm starting to get more involved in MM 3, and as such, have less time for MM 2.1 "nice to haves". You can always submit a request for MM 2.1 at <>. I don't know what your mods "for recognizing alternative email addresses" are, but there is since MM 2.1.19 and equivalent_domains list attribute to, e.g., say that @mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com are all the same for list membership purposes. > I assume in Version 3 the filter capabilities have been completely > redone and probably regularized.

The easiest way for me to implement this would simply be to add a "Discard and Forward" action to the other choices. Adding a Forward checkbox that would apply to any selected action is certainly more flexible, but more complicated to implement. > I wondered too about combined expressions (and negation). > Those don't look easy to do. ... > Since you can always add multiple rules to achieve "or", it seems > unfortunate (but past history now) that multiple expressions don't "and". Yes, it does, but as you note it's history.

AND and negation probably won't happen in MM 2.1. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
