And now to answer my own question... I read some of the archives and delved a bit deeper into the filter mechanisms, and decided a header line is better than the subject (which I assume is considered part of the body, correct?). Looking at the headers of the six or so lists that I subscribe to I noticed they all contained:
X-BeenThere: <list address> so I easily added: headers '^X-BeenThere: tmda-users@tmda.net' ok (as an example) to my incoming filter. That seems to have done the trick! Now I am nervously watching the incoming log to see who is getting through... but so far no spam :) Thanks, j On Wed, 3 Dec 2008, Jeff LaCoursiere wrote: > > Hello, > > I just discovered TMDA in my several weeks of research into "what the [EMAIL > PROTECTED] > am I going to do about my ridiculous amounts of spam?".
