I always use email programs that permit me to use rules. This way you will still get some spam through but very little goes to the trash bucket that shouldn¹t. I.e. An individual on this list with his time out of wack. One of my rules sends him to a neutral zone as a maybe where a lot of spam filters would send it to the trash. The occasional message on a list that comes with no subject or is sent to unlisted. With a straight filter these would go to the trash. With the rules I set up it must meet two criteria to go to the trash. Since the list addressed is recognized as valid it puts them in my neutral zone for recovery. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• jimt Planned insanity is best.
