Re: Re: Creating a "Don't Kill" file...

I am trying to create a don't-kill file.

Okay, so this ends up in the searchable archives with an appropriate
keyword, let me mention "green list" and (less politically correct) "white
list" as terms generally associated with what you're trying to accomplish.

Perhaps there should be a list of terms in the FAQ somewhere! I'd never
heard of a whitelist before or in fact any other colour besides black.

but can't get it to work.
What I want to do is send all mail which isn't sent explicitly to me,
*except* those which have the from address listed in a text file.

Your grammar sucks <g>.  You want to send the mail where?  Trash, or
forward?

The destination is irrelevant, which is why I did not specify a destination.
Perhaps I should have said "I want to filter out all mail..."

         The 'From ' header also contains a datestamp - as coded, it looks
         like you're going to expect to match it WITH that included.

Ah, yes I had forgotten about that and the tests I had run did not show it
up.
Thanks for the assistance.

Also, many thanks to Collin for his reply.

Simon
