Copy email filters of one email address to second email address

I have two email addresses that were hijacked by spammers, and would like to reclaim them. Starting with the 1st address, I have eliminated the majority of spam mails by using their country urls, i.e., .eu, .ru, .us, etc. However, more than a hundred had to be specifically excluded as they are .com addresses. This has been successful for the most part after only a week or so, and after a month I think I will have, pretty much, complete success (a few are trickling in every two or three days). The question then, to simplify reclaiming the 2nd address, is there a way to copy these 100+ filters to the 2nd email address? Thanx

  Hello, You should be able to copy:
  cp /home/$cpuser/etc/$domain/$emailuser/filter* /home/$cpuser/etc/$domain/$emailuser/
  This will overwrite any current filters you have for user2 just a heads up.

  Thanx, but do not see all email addresses at that location (and not the one I want to copy to; I do find the filters in user1, and see all the users in the mail folder).

  If there are no filters created for them, then they might not have folders so you would have to create the folders first.
