On the Friends - Settings page:
"Friends is applied after your Filters and after your Spam rules. Friends address list is applied after your Filters and before your Spamrules."
This is not the behavior I see, and that you confirm. Friends is applied BEFORE filters, not after, as implied above.
Currently running SurgeMail Version 7.3o4-4, so maybe this has been corrected in a more recent release.

The the user added a filter to reject messages from that address, but it didn't work. I then tried to globally block the domain, but that didn't work, either. Now I know why. :-)

There are two ways of surviving: production or theft. Either you produce what you need, or you take it from someone else. You can, of course, get the government to take it from someone else and give it to you, but it's still theft, just with the government doing the dirty work for you. ~Paul Rosenberg
