And how am I supposed to know in advance what people are going to BCC me? The SMTP RFC should have required that the delivery of a BCC'd message include a BCC: header (with only the single recipient listed). ###### From: spalding@iol.ie (Nick Spalding) Newsgroups: alt.folklore.computers Subject: Re: spam filters (was Re: technical articles on IBM 5100 implementation?)

My filter doesn't delete, it moves them to a Trash folder and marks them read. Every couple of days I look at Trash and catch anything like that. Doesn't happen more than once or twice a month. Of course I have higher priority watch filters directing mailing list traffic into its appropriate folders. -- Nick Spalding
