Hi Christian,

I also came up with kind of the same idea some time ago and also
wondered, whether this would be common knowledge, since it was so
easy.

I found out, that a more simple approach also gets the job done:

if
$header_To: does not match "@(thebetteros|ntrulez)\.oche\.de"
then
testprint "Spam: $header_To:"
save $home/mail/spam
finish
endif

This is indeed very important, since I don't like courtesy-copies,
those also end up in mailbox spam.

Kind regards    Frederick
