I'd like to reduce my spam and trash significantly, how about you?

I'd like an option to have all incoming message addresses validated against the contents of my address book, and if that sender address is not contained there, move to message to trash (or some other folder). I have this on my Verision phone, validating sending numbers of course, and it has reduced robo calls and other trash by a huge amount.

I realize that it will have some effect on message process time, but I'm more than willing to trade that for the inconvenience of changing email message addresses, you always forget somebody....

I have tried incoming message filters, based on sending address; based on subject words; and other options and they just are not effective.....

Thanks for considering..... Henri Monnier - hcm@themonniers.com

Paragraph 2 - you had a leading space.

I use such a filter myself.
