Garbage filter(s)
Is it better to have one filter per junk sender, or have one with many alternates? Also, in the Sender string, can I have just a segment of the email address (blah.com), or do i need the whole thing - @ and all? Or is there where regular expressions come in? Thanks...

One filter with many alternates is the best solution, less work and look neater and works just as fine as several filters. As the spammers changes their e-mailaddresses all the time, I prefer to filter on a domain basis. I look at the headers in the mail (Ctr-Shift-K), find the domain where the mail first originated, put this string into the Strings field, and select Kludges for location. You do not need the whole e-mailaddress and no regular expressions either. -- Best regards, Ottar Grimstad, Norway mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.online.no/~ottgrims Using The Bat! 1.53d on Windows 98 version 4,10 -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

Only /some/ Templates are lost !!
Dear readers from 'TB!udl List', Some days ago I had to move my TB!datas to a other drive due to lack of memory. Now I found that on all Accounts I lost my templates except on some particular folders. As I have generally kept my folder structure as is I wonder why or how this could happen. The Data have being moved from 'Old' to 'New'. The Subfolder ...\mail has being moved to ...\ABdb: Old Dataplace: New Dataplace: d1:\TB!ml\news\... d2:\TB!ml\data\news\... ...\ACC01 ...\ACC01 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\......\... ...\mail ...\ABdb In most of the Accounts I lost Templates except in some subfolder. Like _fold-1_, _fold-2_ and _fold-3\ml-1_ have lost the Templates and _fold-3\ml-2_ and _fold-3\ml-3_ did not. NEWS-Account --+- Inbox +- Outbox +- Sent +- fold-1 +- fold-2 +- fold-3 --+- ML-1 +- ML-2 +- ML-3 If someone could tell me in what File these Templates are Stored I could extract them from a Backup that is 3 weeks old.

Close original email when replying???
Hey there. :) One thing that really annoys me with THE BAT is that it doesn't close the original mail when it is opened (with a doubleclick on the list of my mails) and then replied to. I do that about 50 times a day, so it really would be a great help if that window with the original mail would just close - is that possible?

Another filter problem.
Oki this is the classical one million dollar question (but I can not give one million dollar for the answer). The problem is not very simple and i don't know if it's possible to solve with a filter. I receive two kind of mail for my web site: the first contains a unique code and personal data; The second mail is a confirm containing the same code and the .

Re:Spammers on the list?
Hello Jan, The main reason you would use SpamKiller is that it is plug and play. With the TB spam filters, you must receive the email in your inbox and then read it, decide that it is spam and then configure a filter. With SpamKiller, it has a built in database that will detect spam and virus attachments and never let them get to your inbox. You have full control if you want it or you can let it run automatically. Just a suggestion. There is a free 30 day trial it see if you like it. I like easy and effective and using TB with Spamkiller is the best for me.

I get few at home thanks to careful use of email addresses, As for the work ones (I've had the same email address for 8 years and, in the early days, used to post to Usenet without disguising the email address ... !), I get about 90% of them by a simple filter: email address, Recipient, No - Delete the message (as they do not have email address in the header) and putting all the filters for mailing list posts (the only other type of email with email address not in the header) _before_ that one, so all incoming emails from mailing lists are hived off to folders before the spam filter is hit. The other 10%, which _are_ sent directly to the email address, are not really possible to filter out without elaborate matches on subjects and so on. As life is too short for such poking around I delete them. (En passant, has anyone noticed that spam sent directly to the email address [in To:] is becoming more common? A year ago it was 1%, if that, of incoming spam).

Re:Spammers on the list?
Hello Jan, Nothing REALLY special. Here is the basic setup 1. you must tell it your pop and smtp addresses 2. It must know your email login and password 3. You need to tell it who your friends are. This can be done manually or you can export the Bat address book to a text file and have it search it. 4. Initially turn off auto-checking in The Bat until you get used to how SpamKiller works. You don;t want the bat to get your mail before spamkiller looks at it. That's it. That's it On Thu, 20 Dec 2001, at 17:51:58 [GMT -0500] (which was 2:51 PM where I live) you wrote: J Hello Michael.

Re: Spammers on the list?
Hello Dwight, It was foretold that on Thursday, December 20, 2001 at 14:27 GMT -0600, Dwight A Corrin [DAC] would type: DAC Funny you should post this today. I received the following, which DAC looks more innocent than yours but still made me wonder. If sender DAC knew about the list, why not ask there instead of send query to me? I tend to get a few people a month contacting me. For various reasons, they aren't comfortable posting to the list, so they ask someone who posts a fair bit[1]. The message you got seems to be in that vein. snip Sorry to bother you, but I saw your name on The Bat discussion list. Could you please tell me how to send HTML emails with TB. It was in the FAQ sometimes ago but no more. Thanks in advance snip [1] I personally try to tell people who do this that posting to the list is better for a variety of reasons. The main reasons are: a) List members who are familiar with the particular solution will be responding rather than a random individual. This usually means better responses. b) Other people on the list have a chance to learn from the responses to the question. c) An individual might not have the time or inclination to answer a given message. By posting to the list, there is a good chance that *someone* will post a solution, even if it isn't someone who posts often. d) Responses to the list will almost always be faster simply because there are so many timezones represented. e) This list is very tolerant when it comes to non-native English. You might even find someone who can help you in your native tongue. -- Thanks for writing, Januk Aggarwal Ok, who is General Relativity, and what did he do with Sir Newton? -- Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ: http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com

(2nd try) Only /some/ Templates are lost !!
Dear readers from 'TB!udl List', Some days ago I had to move my TB!datas to a other drive due to lack of memory. Now I found that on all Accounts I lost my templates except on some particular folders. As I have generally kept my folder structure as is I wonder why or how this could happen. The Data have being moved from 'Old' to 'New'. The Subfolder ...\mail has being moved to ...\ABdb: Old Dataplace: New Dataplace: d1:\TB!ml\news\... d2:\TB!ml\data\news\... ...\ACC01 ...\ACC01 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\ACC02 ...\......\... ...\mail ...\ABdb In most of the Accounts I lost Templates except in some subfolder. Like _fold-1_, _fold-2_ and _fold-3\ml-1_ have lost the Templates and _fold-3\ml-2_ and _fold-3\ml-3_ did not. NEWS-Account --+- Inbox +- Outbox +- Sent +- fold-1 +- fold-2 +- fold-3 --+- ML-1 +- ML-2 +- ML-3 If someone could tell me in what File these Templates are Stored I could extract them from a Backup that is 3 weeks old. As some Templates are still present I guess there must be a file for every folder. Could anybody confirm and give me advise for restoring my Templates?
