[Macpartners] Trouble with spam filtering

Hi,

I'm running OSX 10.3.9 and Apple Mail 1.3.11 and lately more of my 
"real" emails are ending up in my Spamscreen box. My scoring level is 
set to medium using MIT's personalized settings page and I've tried 
using the "Allow" list but it only lets you specify specific senders. I 
subscribe to several email lists where different emails come from 
different members of the list and the only constant is a tag in the 
Subject line, which isn't an option in the personalized settings.

I've also tried setting up rules in Mail to route these emails to 
separate folders, but many times the emails get sent to the Spam folder 
before they even reach Mail (or so it seems). Some of the lists I 
receive in digest form, and I don't seem to have a problem with those, 
but not all the lists offer that option. Any ideas? It would be nice if 
MIT's personalized settings offered more options for the "Allow" list, 
such as subject header (hint, hint)!

Cheers,

Diana
