I'm not sure Apple Mail can do this, and I don't have my Mac in front of me to play with it. Can it filter on email header values? If so, the subject is just a header and you could theoretically add a filter against it. Allan: Good question.

I tried to use this as a filter on my incoming mail client, but the client doesn't seem to be able to find the string in the subject line, even though it's there in the raw source. Any hints as to how to use this on a client? Cheers, Allan Apple Mail 3.6 on Mac OS 10.5.8 Dave,

(as best as Dan and I could figure out) You would think living in Russia and having the i.p. address we do that we would encounter all kinds of Russian spam but we don't! (and if we do, we will use your filter to get it out so don't erase this b/c Clinton would have to help us non tech oldie fogies out!) Dan and Dee so, your Cyrillic comment was motivational effort.

I've collected <b>lots</b> of Russian email spam now. It's so great to have that junk out of my inbox. I’ve been running this procmail recipe for nearly 2 months with no false positives.

These recipes look like just what I need. I've had the same email address for over 15 years, and I stubbornly refuse to change it, so I'm on the list of every spammer everywhere. So anything that lets me chop out some of the trash before it hits Spamassassin saves load on my sysadmin's CPU, and everybody's happy. Thanks! These recipes look like just what I need.

I've had no false positives or false negatives so far. Procmail has moved every piece of Cyrillic email I've received into my "crap" folder, which is exactly where I want it! Thanks procmail!
