I have been suffering from those. If you use Pluto to filter, then simply change the "Subject" to "Subject contains" and it should trap any subject that contains that, regardless of whet else it contains. > Or are there any Regex elements I need to add or use? No RegEx required. If you use RoundCube or Hermes to do the filtering, then RegEx may be required. -- Martin Avison Note that unfortunately this email address will become invalid without notice if (when) any spam is received.
