Tnx so much for the help and clarification, Phillip. Unfortunately, I
must bounce all non-mailing list e-mail to my name email address because
1,000+ spams per day from too many throw-away accounts has left me no
choice.
Time to join usenet then.
At a minimum, you could permit messages with a references: header
containing tokens from your own mail host. While not a precise function
(unless you bcc'd yourself on messages so that the filter could store your
own messageids, presuming some braindead MTA along the way doesn't change
them), it would be a reasonable method for identifying some reply messages.
Next, you aught to create a filter that rejects mail from a variety of
freemail services, or which checks that the messageid is appropriate to the
From: for the freemail service.
Using a bogus email address for communication with people you're asking for
assistance from won't fly for long.
