Thanks, but i've also some mailing lists to filter and then start the
problem of screening those lists from junk with accurate filter rules.
My understanding of the Yarn process is that if no rule are matching
in any filter then the message goes to the INBOX. I'm wrong?
And my request is how to detect blank field in a search for string?
Anybody to comment on regular expression in search for string?
Thx.
