Re: Why DenyAllFilter??

[James Stauffer <st...@gmail.com>]

Each filter decides if it matches and what to do with what it matches.
 So if something doesn't match any filter, then how do you handle
that?  You use DenyAll to throw away all message that didn't match any
other filter.  Remember that you can have multiple filters so you need
a way to say "anything else".
