I tried this one and it didn't work either. One account uses
Header contains X-Text-Classification: spam
as a condition; another account uses
Header field X-Text-Classification match spam
(minus quotation marks)
...and neither works consistently. That is, some of the messages K9
marks as spam are redirected, others are not. I've checked the headers
and they are correctly classified, but not always moved.
Could the destination folder have anything to do with it? The filter
is supposed to move them to the Junk folder that already exists.
Thank you!

K9 allows you to use the message header X-Text-Classification to identify spam for the purpose of filtering it. ASK Just to be on the safe side - you do have defined the header field ASK X-Text-Classification in Preferences | Messages | Message Headers? Yes, I did make that modification-- sorry, I should have mentioned it. K9 learns and works very quickly so this is frustrating; don't know whether it's a K9 problem or a TB problem, but suspect the latter.

Maybe you've just forgotten to share it with your ASK accounts. I've set up two separate filters for the two accounts, using two slightly different conditions. And, neither works consistently. It seems strange that some mail classified as spam would be moved to the correct folder, and others also marked would not be moved by the filter.

K9 learns and works very quickly ASK Except for the nigeria connection scam mails of which I get at least two a ASK day on three accounts ATM. K9 repeatedly misses those. *sigh* They're troublesome for my filter, too. I figure it's because except for spam words like Nigeria, Togo and Central African Republic, the text is generally found in the good word database. The blacklist feature now helps me filter these more effectively. -- Code 2 :canadaflag: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] The Bat! version 2.12.00 on Windows XP Service Pack 2 Majorcan shop entrance: Here speeching American.

ASK I've configured K9 to *not* add the spam percentage count to the header so ASK that it'll simply contain spam. ASK IIRC the default setting is to include that counter so the header is ASK spam[89] or something. Maybe thats the problem. OK, I've changed that setting and here's hoping it will help!

TN and it works perfectly. It is the last filter in a list of *account*
TN filters.
Thank you; I will give this one a try too.
TN BTW, is there a way to let TB display the filters in a more readable
TN and accessible format?
I can't really decipher the above format, until I copy and paste into a
new filter.

Some of them are quite funny, and once in awhile I'll bite on one of them and encourage them to fax me info, call, etc. Since they're usually in Africa, the faxes cost them a bit of money, and I currently live in Uzbekistan, so the random number I give them here is going to frustrate them, since I doubt few of the scammers know Russian or Uzbek. If I can get them to waste time and money on me, maybe some other poor soul won't get taken in that week. -- Cheers, Rick Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
