How’s that filter working for you? I seriously doubt that most of my users would be capable of conforming to such draconian rules. They simply want to reply without fussing over what is or is not permitted in their replies. It’s not a matter of intelligence, but the bother of jumping through hoops. Can’t you program something to strip excess footers?

How are you running the filter?



Thanks.

Here are the bottom banners that I use. (I hope that they aren't confused here as actual banners.) There are three which are inserted on a rotating basis. Note that all have a leading line of "=.=.=...... to make certain they are unique.

Then a content filter is set up around this construction of "=.=.=."







Subject: Subscribe

Action: MODERATE

The result is that when listserv reviews each message it returns those with that construction with the text shown. The only two sections affected are BOTTOM_BANNER and CONTENT_FILTER. In fact, you could use them as is since I've used the generic &LISTNAME.
