I assume you made those filters to filter out spam. It's impossible to 
make manual filters that don't throw out good mail (false positives) 
*and* let spam get into your inbox (false negatives). And even one false 
positive is usually much worse than hours spent pressing the delete 
button, at least if you don't notice it by spending (wasting) time 
regularly looking through the trash.

If Eudora doesn't have a spam filter or if it's no good and if you don't 
want to switch to an email program that has a good one (like 
Thunderbird), you can install separate spam filter programs. I just 
updated the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-mail_filtering with some 
good programs you can use alongside Eudora.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
