Re: Filtering on server side
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello Michal and everyone else... MK Is the possibility to filter e-mails before receive into the BAT? Yes, to a lesser extent. You'll notice a section of the Sorting Office titled "Selective Download". The filters in this section will be applied to messages before they are downloaded. If a match is found, the message will be deleted from the server or ignored before it ever came to you. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Encryption.

It does delete messages off the server, but first TB will download all the message headers, match your kill filter criteria, start downloading messages, and then when it gets to a message that matched your kill filter, it just skips over it and tells the server to delete it.

Re: Filtering on server
Leif, The question you still didn't address is: What is Routing? More specifically, when you set a string in a Routing kill filter, which headers does The Bat! examine to find that string? In my experiments it did not look at the To: header. This really should be in the Help file. Leif Gregory wrote... Has anyone yet NA been able to explain Tom's question about "routing"?

JDH This really should be in the Help file. Sorry, one of those things that you thought everybody knew. Ok, the routing kill filters are matched based on the RECEIVED (from) lines, which are basically a log of the hops the message took in getting to you. Because the spammer may have changed their FROM address, SUBJECT, REPLY-TO, and TO info for each message they send, you can't filter on that. This is where routing kill filters can come in handy. Let's say you find out a bunch of your spam seems to pass through a particular server which allows relaying (a spammers best friend), you can kill messages based on that server appearing in the hop log (RECEIVED (from)). For example, take a look at the below headers from a message I had sent to TBUDL a little while back. Received: from thebat.dutaint.com (ns2.dutaint.com [202.134.1.243]) by mail.ave.com (8.9.2/8.8.8) with ESMTP id JAA14327 for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sat, 5 Feb 2000 09:07:31 -0500 (EST) Received: from msa.att.ne.jp by thebat.dutaint.com with SMTP (MDaemon.v3.0.0.0n.R) for [EMAIL PROTECTED]; Sat, 05 Feb 2000 21:05:49 +0700 Received: from 20.gate5.mis.att.ne.jp (20.gate5.mis.att.ne.jp [165.76.26.186]) by msa.att.ne.jp (8.8.8+Spin/3.6W-CONS(11/04/99)) id XAA19318; Sat, 5 Feb 2000 23:05:13 +0900 (JST) Any text contained in the RECEIVED header can be used for the routing kill filter, but you'll generally want to kill based on a server: thebat.dutaint.com ns2.dutaint.com mail.ave.com msa.att.ne.jp 20.gate5.mis.att.ne.jp etc... Ok, this should clear that issue up. I'll probably write a little better explanation and stick it in the FAQ later.
