Nothing so complicated; the fake To: line the slimevertisers use has an
"@" in it. This is meant to filter to junk everything not already
processed since INBOX has already been done. Perhaps a similar filter
(zz) which searches the From: line for "@" will become necessary if the
spammers start using a totally bogus To: line.
:> Filters for digests, which are To: mlanders, start with "a" (so they
:> don't get sent to INBOX), filters for mailing lists are "c" to "y".
:
:YAEH! If needed, there could be filter names like "aa", "ab" ... "bb"
:and so on. As the doc file says:
:
: Filter rules are processed in sorted order by rule name. Each
: rule is checked in turn until a match is found. If no rules
: match, the message is moved to the INBOX folder.

:I think I will set up rules in this manner. Thank you for posting the
:idea!

I'm surprised that something so simple wasn't thought of before. Now if
something like this could be implemented in procmail we wouldn't even
have to download the garbage.
