The most straightforward setup I can think of which does this, is: (setq nnmail-split-fancy '(| ("gnus-warning" ".*" "duplicates") (to "Karl Kleinpaste" "Personal") (from mail "Mailer-daemon") "Junkmail")) If you have included explicit splits for all the obscure aliases, lists and whatnot you want to receive mail from, the "Junkmail" mailbox will come very close to containing nothing but spam (and very little of the spam I'm receiving has my name anywhere in it). Bcc: is a problem, but are there many of us who receive lots and lots of Bcc'ed mail from different places all the time? | Also, in looking at the documentation for nnmail-split-fancy, because | I thought it might be necessary for my anti-spam effort (but now that | I think I understand -fancy, it won't help -- I have nnmail-crosspost | set to nil), the 1st line of the example contains a token `mail' (not | a string) which should be enclosed in quotes as a string. Nope, see the variable `nnmail-split-abbrev-alist'. -- Harald
