Back in January, there was a message suggesting the following
approach:
========================================================================
Use the FILTER program, and set up several
rules that direct messages to each of your legitimate addresses to
INBOX. This should include actual email addresses you hold, as well
list addresses that you know you receive legitimately. After all those
INBOX rules, have a final 'z-SPAM' rule (alphabetically the last rule)
that directs everything else to a SPAMBOX folder (or just deletes it).
========================================================================
One question I have is: does the "To" specification in a filter rule
also includes the CC and BCC fields? Otherwise, is there any way to
process those fields?
The part I need more help with is the z-SPAM rule: how do I set it up
to
direct _everything_ to a particular folder. Stated differently, how
do
I structure a filter rule that applies to all messages (that haven't
already been filtered). It wasn't obvious to me how to do that when I
was sitting at the FILTER.EXE screen for defining a new rule.
Thanks.
