[pmmail-list] Help creating a spam filter

[Clint]

Hi,

Thanks, I did read that part of the help file but I wasn't clear on how to set it up for 
"unless the sender is in the address book." I tried adding each of the following lines in 
turn to the end of the filter: 

&! header.from=$ab$
&! header.from=ab

But I got a syntax error with either of these expressions :(.

I also tried &! header.from="$ab$ " and although there was no syntax error a test 
message from myself was still deleted. 

Maybe what I am trying to do isn't possible in PMMail, or I just haven't figured out the 
correct expression. It would be useful to have PMMail apply spam filters only to those 
senders not in my address book so that I wouldn't accidently lose mail from my friends 
and family simply because they placed "!!" in the subject.
