All the best.
Well, whilst I appreciate we can filter at our end with procmail or delete directly from our imap servers (although not from this here windows box), my point is that I can't see any reason for "paypal" or "ebay" coming up at all in message headers or bodies on a debian linux discussion group, and so why not ditch the lot at source? I also concede that it's not my place to say what is and isn't filtered, and I got more or less the response I expected.
