} Unfortunately, after.  Thus, CONTENT_FILTER is useless for filtering any
} BOTTOM_BANNER text.  It will always be positive and will stop all list
} messages.

It can be done, but is a bit tricky.  This has been discussed on some
list but I don't recall which one.  ISTR it works by having some unique
character sequence at the start of the BB.  For example, suppose the
first line of the BB starts "*=+=*=+=".  Then you filter on:

>*=+=*=+=

and

> *=+=*=+=

You need both because some mailers put a blank in and others don't.  Its
not perfect because some people (such as myself) don't use the default
seperator but it will catch most of them.
