EUDORA SPAM FILTER 02
Duplicate From and To Headers With Your Address
 

This filter compares the FROM: and TO: headers to see if they are both your email address. Occasionally a spammer will fake the FROM: header with my email address, making it look like the email was sent from me, to me. Do you send yourself email? If so, be aware that this filter will catch your email to yourself as well as the spam. I send email to myself from one of my other addresses to get past this filter. This filter must come before the passlist filter, if you include yourself on the passlist, as I do.

 

Match: Incoming and Manual
Header From:
Verb: contains
Value: your_email_address
conjunction   and
Header: To:
Verb: contains
Value: your_email_address
Actions: Transfer To Spam mailbox
  Skip Rest

 

Note: The "Contains" action is not case sensitive. "yourname@mail.com" and "YOURNAME@MAIL.COM" would work equally well as search terms.
