No. That's my point, it _wasn't_ received with a 'from address' that was in my address book. It was received with a 'from address' that _was not_ in my AB. Quoting from the Sorting Office window: "The Known filter allows you to separate incoming mail by the presence of the _sender's address_ in your address book" (My emphasis) It appears to me that the Known filter was not triggering just on the sender's address - the "From:" field - but also on the "Reply-To:" and/or "X-RCPT-TO:" field in the spam's header, into which the spammer had inserted _my address_, which _is_ in my address book. The Known filter should trigger _only_ on the "From:" field, not on any other field in the header, right? Otherwise, a spammer - or any "unknown" - could stick a recipient's address in another header field and defeat the filter (assuming the recipient has his own address in his AB). Or, is the Known filter intended to trigger whenever an address in one's address book is _anywhere_ in the incoming headers?
