With the javascript search capabiity in FiltaQuilla, it is not very difficult to implement an arbitrary search of address fields (which works in filters as well) using some very simple javascript and FiltaQuilla.

But the standard filter in TB3 already provides a search capability in the FROM field, with expressions such as CONTAINS that could look for something like "VIAGR" in the display name. Is that sufficient for your needs? Or do you need something more complex than that?

Personally, I don't believe that a custom designed filter is likely to be an effective way to combat spam. The bayes processor used for junk management in Thunderbird is a better option. Is there some reason that is not working for you?

"The messages in question are getting through the bayes processor because the From and To fields were from me."

In TB3, the junk processing specifically detects whether a message is "from" you, and if so does not whitelist it (which is the process that results in the bayes processor skipping the message). This was not true in TB2.

So I suggest that you try again the junk processor in TB3 to see if it can help with your junk management issues.
