Don't you get a warm and fuzzy feeling whenever someone cross-posts you? Thanks! :-)

Got the spam filter configured. It's working nicely!

However, instructions are limited. So here it goes:

*All the junk mail features are under "Tools" in Mozilla Mail.

*Configure and turn on junk mail using Junk Mail Controls. Enable junk mail. Check to have it ignore email addresses in your personal address book. Then, configure it to automatically move junk mail messages to a folder.

*Next, you have to train it. Select some spam in your inbox. Then, "Mark Selected Messages As Junk." Next, "Run Junk Mail Controls on Selected Messages." I also trained it to accept some mail that might be seen as junk mail (my subscription to the Nando Times mailer) by highlighting them and running "Mark Selected Messages As Not Junk" and then "Run Junk Mail Controls on Selected Messages."

So far, it's picked up all the junk mail and shuffled it into my selected folder :)
