EUDORA SPAM FILTER 08
"Personality Filter"

 

Any email that makes it this far is not from anyone on my passlist, is not from anyone on my friendly domains list, and is not from my list server or a subscription. The Spam-O-Meter is climbing fast...  BUT if it's addressed to my personal domain, which I have set up in Eudora as a second personality, I want to see it anyway. So this filter grabs it and shuffles it over to the inbox. Sure, I could just add my domain to the "friendly domain" filter; that would also work, but then I wouldn't have a personality filter to show you...

 

 

Match: Incoming and Manual
Header <Personality>
Verb: contains
Value: cecilw.com
Actions:   Skip Rest
 (stop filtering this message and go straight to the inbox)

NOTE*
When checking a "Personality's" email, Eudora adds an "X-Persona" header for incoming email addressed to that  Personality, and that's what we're checking here. The added header for this example is:
    X-Persona: <cecilw.com>
