But I didn't say "filter by the From". I said filter by the Message-ID
(see posted example below). I do not filter GG by From field - there is
nothing consistent in it. And I don't filter gmail addresses; that was
someone else's bad suggestion.

...and as I mentioned earlier, is an "expensive" filter. 2) We don't
know whose fault it is until we get to know them. If they seem to be
serious real people and not hit-and-runners, I whitelist 'em.

You'd see replies from other people who don't filter. You look back and
see if you want to whitelist them. It's been working for me (and many
others) for a long time.

You sound sincere; apology accepted.
