But it is a good idea to use another program to do this, as spammers do tend to change their address, and it wouldn't be feasible to add all to the filter. There are now some plug-ins available for TB, but they are in beta status. I don't use them, as my email-provider offers an option to do this server-side. The key word is "bayesian spam filtering", which also the TB plug-ins attempt. You couldn't do that with just the filters in TB. -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste.
