With your rule to delete anything that does not have your name in the "To:" line you are going to miss more than Pianotech. You will also miss anything that you are in the "CC:" or "BCC:" fields. Usually you can set a rule to accept anything that has your name somewhere in the header. You should also be able to set a rule that specifically accepts anything from Pianotech and have it process before the rule that deletes it if you are not in the "To:" field. Hope this helps. I'd recommend SpamBayes (www.spambayes.org). It is what I use in Outlook it works great and it is free. It takes a little bit to get going, but it is worth it.

Instead the 'To line' says Pianotech which doesn't make a lot of sense since it was sent To "me" FROM Pianotech. The problem is, it hampers sorting of email, especially because the spam that slips past my ISP, NEVER has my name in the To line. So when I make a rule that says "delete any email that does not have my name in the to line" all the pianotech goes to the delete bin. Ok, there are the "exceptions" options but---botheration. I subscribe to other email lists that obey that rule without going through the exceptions process, (which is really tedious because you have to check it for every day for two weeks to see if you didn't miss any "exceptions"). Can Pianotech put my name put my name in the "To line" ? ---ric Richard Moody www.pnotec.com (coming soon --- "pnotec list" moderated and edited for your information (and enjoyment) now, and easy reference in the future.) _______________________________________________ pianotech list info: https://www.moypiano.com/resources/#archives
