Re: Rule to block multi-posted messages doesn't work

Unfortunately no because I'm on a couple of Listserv mailing lists. Hmm...
Would it be possible to let those through and then apply a "delete mail that
doesn't contain my address" rule I wonder?


If you have the correct addresses for the mailing lists, then you can treat them as if you were filtering in messages.

See especially rule #4 at the first link. If you can add the mail list address, you should be able to figure out something.

That won't work because it is *in-between* what the rule reads. What is your ultimate goal?

To eliminate any messages that have more than one address in the "To" line. I've already figured out a way to delete messages that have my address in the "CC" line but I think spammers have become aware of this so now more and more of them are loading everything into the "To" line.

Is deleting mail that doesn't contain your address an option?

I want to create a rule that will delete email messages that have been posted to more than one person. Since the addresses in messages with more than one address in the To line are separated by "," or ";" I tried this:

<quote>
Apply this rule after the message arrives
Where the To line contains ';' or ','
Delete it
and Stop processing more rules
</quote>

But it doesn't work. Is there another way to accomplish this?
