I don't use them either for spam anymore- they always come in from a different address, and using words were tricky. I still use mail washer, and it works great for me. And I am content right now to not use the filters. Spam never downloads to my OE in the 1st place now. In the past, I have used them for viruse that kept coming in - and I have my newsletters and groups all going to their own folders.

Was taking up too much of my time. Using a filter does it automatically. And K9, as with most other filters, you just have to select the mail thats SPAM and hit the big SPAM button, and it adds it to the filter. ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: KC To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 11:40 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Spam Filtering Have you ever used the email rules in OE? they can be very good at what you want blocked, including subject matter, words in the body of the text. Worth a look. ----- Original Message ----- From: "~OoO~" <SirTroth@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 9:17 AM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Spam Filtering > The only reason I didn't like SpamPal was because it had too many features.
