You will probably receive better solutions from others. But my simple approach is to filter all Welcome mail into folders, leaving the unknown-unwelcome mail in the general InBox.
Filter for specific known items into appropriate folders, followed by the last filter, being The Bat's Known filter to put any non-specific items into a Welcome folder. This leaves everything else to sit in the InBox. Here you can giv it a quick glance before deleting the lot.

The following is meant to be quoted: Hello Mailing List, I am receiving allot of spam. When the messages arrive which I do not want I have set up filters to deal with them. All that happens is that the senders just change their names of some other element of the address and then the messages continue to get past my filters. Can the Bat! deal with this kind of Spam or is it necessary to get another programme to do this work. -- Love and Light, Granville mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ I am at present using MailWasher Free Version but still quite allot of Spam is still getting through. -- Love and Light, Granville ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.00 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
