Though, on this list, mail is addressed to the list, not the recipient. So his own mail to this list shouldn't affect scoring spam that's only assessing to address. As his address won't be in there. For other lists, your caution stands. And the original poster must remember that it's not just a case of flagging those particular messages as spam. With some anti-spam systems, you're increasing the statistics of your address being associated as spam. And that leads to one of my pet hates about "junk mail" buttons on ordinary mail clients used by clueless people. They'll hit the junk button on mail they don't want to see, but isn't actually junk (such as a message list that they've subscribed to, but can't arsed to unsub themselves), and report that mail as being spam to a third party. And suddenly, your actually not-spam mail, is being blacklisted. Going back to the request, my own thoughts are, particularly if they were applying a filter for more than one person, or more than one address, the original poster's question may have been a more literal request. Rather than junk it if the "to" address includes their own address (a specific address), would be junking mail where the same address is found in the "to" and "from" headers, whatever that address is. Dunno if Spamassassin can do that. But I've often thought it would be a useful rule. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -r 2.6.27.25-78.2.56.fc9.i686 Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
