If someone had a dial up Internet connection and had lots of big spam messages come through, it sounds like this approach might be tailor made for them. >'Delete the message', that's the action listed right above 'Delete >from server' >My server does my spam marking, it adds a spam header and I've set TB >to move those messages to a spam folder and mark them as read (you >know that you can set multiple actions to a single filter, don't you) >so I won't see it unless I'm browsing my spam folder to check for >false spam marks. So that could be an option for you too. Thanks - most of my spam is unknown, but this particular address is nothing but, so I can safely set it to 'delete the message'.
