I am not "filter" smart. If I set a filter "that filters out everything that doesn't have the word classic in it" I fear this would also block "Off List" correspondence from CR Listers. It would not be practical to make a filter exception to each and every lister.

This is one of those problems with Yahoo and Hotmail accounts since these address' can be "mined" and used. One of the reasons people offer free accounts is because they make the address' public so you're open to solicitors. They're not selling your name but they make it easy to find. Back in the 90s when these "free" accounts started happening many of us would sign up for a Yahoo account and see how long it was until we got a piece of spam. These would be accounts that would never be used, just activated. I have 4 email addresses and the only ones that get spam are the free ones. In your case I'd just set up a filter that filters out everything that doesn't have the word classic in it. good luck, Monkeyman
