Any way to filter this gawdawful penny stock
crapola that has started jammin' up my Inbox over the last few days? You know the one, where From is: Firstname Lastname and the Subject is: Firstname Can't filter it with the stuff in the message body (too bad, as they all contain stuff that can be used to do that) as filtering in the body causes the entire msg. to be downloaded to the Inbox. Can't figure out any way to filter based on From + Subject. I'm currently getting 60 - 100 a day of this dung. |

You can't do anything with OE's message rules except to filter in your mail.

Bruce:

Sorry. That won't work. Not to mention they constantly change their address,
so a From rule is useless as well. -- Bruce Hagen MS-MVP Outlook Express ~IB-CA~ "V Green" wrote in message ... Bruce: Already been to those sites - but thanks.

I have noticed that they all seem to be using the same partial X-Mailer string, so I'm gonna experiment with using nPOP to trash this crap based on that... but I'll probably wind up dumping stuff I want. *sigh* Oh, well.

Can't figure out any way to filter based on From + Subject. I'm currently getting 60 - 100 a day of this dung. This works for me: | If header "T" contains " LogicalAnd "" | If header "T" contains "First" Goto "End" | If header "T" contains " LogicalAnd "" | If header "T" contains "First MI Last" Goto "End" | If header "T" contains " LogicalAnd "" | If header "T" contains "First MI. Last" Goto "End" | If header "T" contains " AddHeader "X-Text-Classification: spam [No/Wrong name]" | If header "T" contains " Move "spamfighter" Caveat: If users _don't/won't_ put your proper name in the "To:" field, their email will be diverted to "spamfigher". These are not MSOE rules, but might work if modified. Try this: Where the To line contains people: Where the To line conatins poeple: "First" Then click on the Options button and select: 2. Message matches all of the people below. Then select the action, "Stop processing more rules". That will force MSOE to bail on a match. Build two more sets for "First MI Last", and "First MI. Last". Immediately following these rules create one more rule: Where the To line contains people: ". For a rule action use a move to a folder. Because you want that move to take place on a match, this rule must also be followed by the "Stop Processing more rules" option. The "Stop processing more rules" option is critical, here. You want MSOE to bail on processing rules when matching your email address _and_ proper name. You also want MSOE to move the fourth match. If you don't use "Stop processing more rules", MSOE will fall through the rules without acting. I will repeat the warning, he If your correspondents won't, or can't include your proper name on the same line with your email address in the "To:" field, their email _will_ get filtered into the diversion folder. Good post! Unfortunately, I have about 8 or 9 email boxes that OE polls and are 'good' email addresses. Can this type of filtering work with more than one address? I also figure that the means yahoo.com being used as an example. I have tried the 'if not equal to my real address' thing and was not too successful. I hate to futz around with external 'filters' or filtering software add-ons and am looking for something like you posted. Thanks Joe -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Does thundebird import all of OE's stuff--like address book, rules, all email folders and does it have a backup built in? Any problems with lots of mail? Sorry for all the questions. I think I need to move away from OE and need to be sure and the only way for me to be sure is to ask someone who has used the product.
