What I did was just create a rule that took any message larger than 1 byte, and forwarded to my other address. Then I made sure that the spam filtering was set to put spam in the Spam folder. This seems to work fairly well. I still get an occasional spam message that was from my MSU Mail account, but not many.

So if I wanted a rule to filter and autoforward everything, I could use the condition Header: To: contains [log in to unmask], right?

If you use the filters to forward your email then it is scanned for spam. If you use the latter method, and you have spam scanning enabled, then yes it will re-write the subject line of your emails. - --Ray Gene Willacker wrote: | I believe this has been discussed here before, so please excuse the | repetition.
