[svlug] filter-rules

[Ray Olszewski]

Even once you get a good filtering program (Seth already sent advice on
this), you will need to think a bit more carefully about what text you look
for, and where. Just checking "To:" for "svlug at svlug.org" is too little.
Scan the traffic and see how it gets designated. You will quickly see
several other ways that mail is addressed to the list, to wit:

        Cc: svlug at svlug.org
        To: or Cc: svlug at svlug.svlug.org
        To: or Cc: svlug at some.other.hostname

>From scanning recent traffic, two approaches that look workable are:

        (1) filter on "svlug" in either "To:" or "Cc:"
        (2) filter on "owner'svlug at svlug.org" in "Sender:" (if your
                filters will do this).
