Re: source exclusions not working in 714

Anita,

> except when you are indicating an exclusion with NOT.

If you recall, this was happening in prior to 711; the release you, 
Eric, and Sean were communicating on -- was fixed in 711.

I had to disable my 714 filters; this is causing problems.

Can I go back to 711; it did not have this problem; 712 has the 
Pop-Before-SMTP problem, thus 711 would be the most desired.

I tested using my static IP, "src.addr IP# NOT"; also erred, thus its 
not just "domain names".

This is the first I've heard of this specification.  When I first 
started with PO, working with you and Eric and Sean on the "body 
filters not working", and the "source exclusions not working", this 
was never mentioned.  Tenon support at that time scrutinized my 
filter construction -- no mention of such, thus I'm confused.  I even 
recall that Eric told me that blanks were ignored.

Can you be more specific, I don't want to implement what you are 
telling me incorrectly -- better yet, can you add the asterisk(s) 
where you feel I'm missing them in one of the filters you view as 
problematic?
