Understood, but I don't see the point in being lax with that match.
Perhaps I ebay too much using the address [EMAIL PROTECTED] ;)

Good point. Now that I think about it, just a few weeks ago I won an auction from someone who used an address similar to [EMAIL PROTECTED] That address wouldn't have triggered the rule, but I can think of some really innocuous addresses and names that would:

[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[EMAIL PROTECTED] (I forget, do numbers trigger word boundaries?)
"My Ebay Stuff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
"Ebay Account" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
"Bob on eBay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This is why I troll my spam folder rather than toss it. I even have a
trick for making this easy in cases involving really stupid people (or
the few cases that have REALLY annoyed me.) I give them a score of 100.
That (almost) always places these kind of false potential alarms at the
end of the spam sort list so I eventually catch them. (I search the two
ends, one for the chance hams that score as low spam - very rare here -
or the potential for someone triggering one of the really high rules for
the satisfaction obtained from nailing their asterisks. It'd also catch
such really stupid ebay sellers or buyers, too. I've posted the rewrite
rule I use to ensure the sorting (up to 999.9) before.)
