I tend to prefer teh Sender: header, and I had my rule set up like: MAILDIR=$HOME/mail DEFAULT=$HOME/Mailbox :0 H * ^sender: .*owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org freebsd.questions Which relies on the presence of a Sender: header in all the mail from the majordomo of FreeBSD.org. --giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
