SS> The [EMAIL PROTECTED] filters ARE before the list filters, as there are specific SS> text phrases such as "Ancient Toaist," "throbbing erections" and SS> "Saundanese Arab Method" (I think you know the specific spam messages SS> I am talking about!) and the text strings are specific and targeted.
I have good success putting my spam catcher _after_ filters that look for stuff I want to keep and read. In other words, pick off the stuff you want to read _first_, route it to the appropriate folders, then run what's left through the spam filter(s). This method has the added advantage of avoiding a legitimate message accidentally getting treated as spam. For example, if someone in my address book sends me a message containing the phrase "erection of a new bridge over the Swatara Creek", it gets filtered to my "known" folder, even though "erection" is a word my spam filter, later, will look for. If the spam filter is first, this good message would get trashed. Anything that doesn't get picked off by any filter, including the spam catcher, I route to my "unknown" folder. The "unknown" filter comes last. Known filter(s) Spam filter(s) Unknown filter ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
