There was a setting that I added to the .ini file (I think) that solved the problem. How may mailboxes do you have? I'll look back to find the solution if that's your problem, or you can check the archives. Randy Bosma

With all of the discussion on filters in EUDORA, I am wondering if there is a EUDORA Filters 101 course available. The manual does not go into much detail on the REGEXP option. Where can we learn more?

I had never paid any attention to the regex filter. I have several spam filters using the Subject line. This is easier. I see you don't have "Viagra" or Herbal or "bulk Mail" on your list. Margaret

Or give a more detailed explanation of how to >implement this idea? Since the majority of spam messages contain some of the same words in the subject line, I've set up a filter to catch these messages. I've chosen to send them straight to my trash can but others may wish to send them to a special "spam" mailbox to look at when you have time. The filter uses the Regular Expressions (regexp). When I get a new piece of spam that has shown up in my inbox, I pick a word (or words) in the subject line that I suspect will show up in future spam messages and add it to my list of "matches RegEx (case insensitive)". This filter is toward the bottom of my filter list, after I've filtered all of my mailing list messages. To implement the filter: Incoming Subject matches RegEx (case insensitive) These are the words in my filter, you can copy them and paste them into your filter (all on one line): (.*MONEY .*)|(.*special offer.*)|(.*nude.*)|(.*free.*)|(.*must see.*)|(.*earn.*)|(.*dollars.*)|(.*business.*)|(.*adv.*)|(.*order.*)|(.*cash.*)|(.*credit card.*)|(.*refinancing.*)|(.*Collection.*)|(.*Perversions.*)|(.*Life Insurance.*)|(.*As seen on.*)|(.*Hot!.*) I send mine straight to the trash, but like I said, you can send yours to a special spam mailbox, to go through at a later date. When you get more spam that slips through the cracks, copy a word or two from the subject line and surround it with the following: (.*the word you copied.*) separate the expressions with a pipe | which is usually above the enter key on your keyboard. Here's a pretty good link to view a description of RegExp http://home.earthlink.net/~asherber/regexp.pdf You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it. -- Debbie Woolard - List Manager djwoolard@earthlink.net debala715@yahoo.com

Cyndi said: >Debbie - >You lost me with the term "regexp" -- I don't recognize it. Can you tell >us what this means? Or give a more detailed explanation of how to >implement this idea? Regular Expression (as far as I know it started as a UNIX term, but I may be wrong). You can find "Regular Expression" in Eudora's "Help". It mentions "POSIX" which is a form of UNIX. How Debbie formats her filters using this is interesting. I'd like to hear more. Margaret

Hi all, Since this list has been might quite lately, I thought I'd ask if anyone is using a filter based on the regexp to "control" spam? If you are, how about sharing your filter with others. We should be able to get a nice collection of regexp to use this way. Here are mine: (.*MONEY .*)|(.*special offer.*)|(.*nude.*)|(.*free.*)|(.*must see.*)|(.*earn.*)|(.*dollars.*)|(.*business.*)|(.*adv.*)|(.*order.*)|(.*cash.*)|(.*credit card.*)|(.*refinancing.*)|(.*Collection.*)|(.*Perversions.*)|(.*Life Insurance.*)|(.*As seen on.*)|(.*Hot!.*) I, of course, use regexp - case insensitive. -- Debbie Woolard - List Manager djwoolard@earthlink.net debala715@yahoo.com

I am using Eudora ver5.1, sponsored mode. Today I tried to set up a filter....all seemingly went well until I attempted to 'tell' the filter tool where I wanted the transfer to go......the long bar did not give me the usual drop-down choices of mailboxes.

Excellent Idea. I have moved it to the top of my filter list.

Gene & List, I have found another filter that works really well on lots of different spam Subjects. You may have noticed that sometimes there is a four or five digit number to the right on the Subject line. I filter anything that has eight or so blank spaces in the Subject. <g> I think the numbers are some kind of tracking system, and they are on about half the spam I receive, so at least half of it goes straight to the trash <VBG>. I think I had problems typing the spaces into the filter initially. So I simply did a cut and paste. Works like a charm. I'd be interested in any other spam filtering suggestions. The more that end up in the trash, the happier I am.

Gene Thanks for all the explanations about this email. I will delete it from now on.

You probably didn't see your email address because it was in the Bcc: area. That means blind copy. It keeps recipients of email from seeing who else it is sent to. But you can't create a filter to delete email with your address in the Bcc: because you will also delete mail from mail lists or email you might want to get. The best thing to do is just delete spam and forget it. If you try to remove your email, they now have a verified address they can sell to someone else. I get so much spam that I automatically delete certain subject lines without even looking at the body of the message. I do have a few filters to delete messages with certain words in the subject such as "business opportunity" & "make money" & "descrambler" You'd be amazed how many people want to you buy a cable descrambler over the internet, which ironically according to the FCC is not illegal to sell. It is only illegal to use it.

I asked another list about this and they said I needed to try Eudora list, so here is my problem. I have received an email that doesn't have my email address. It does say To:naina@TWLakes.Net which isn't my email. It doesn't have an attachment but has the number 212.107.196.165. I went to Geektools and they say this number belongs to someone in Russia. It has a place to be removed from receiving this kind of spam. I know not to do this because you'll just get more spam. Is there anyway to be removed. I did click on the remove highlight, which shows my email address not the naina@TWLakes.Net address. Can anyone tell me how to correct this or how to filter it from downloading in my mailbox? Not sure that makes any sense, hope so. Candace

I am using Eudora Pro, v. 3.0.1. When printing, only one-half of the line at the bottom of the page is printed, effectively omitting the page numbers. Several years ago, when this problem first surfaced, I was told by a Good Samaritan on the Internet how to correct the problem. In the intervening years, I have managed to lose the information which I thought I had so carefully filed away. Can anyone tell me the changes I need to make in order to correct this problem? Any help available would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Ed Elliott eelliott@dcwis.com

I have installed Eudora and imported from Outlook Express. In so doing I ended up with a number of folders with numbers after then. I have been able to delete most of them, but remain with about 10 folders which are empty and unable to delete. Have tried most Windows and Eudora actions, just unable to rename them or delete them. Any ideas? Dick Rose
