Yes, install mailfilter and don't download the spam in the first place. I 'was' using procmail for that but with sooo much spam coming in I decided to remove it at the pop server rather then download it. I have not looked back as I now download only 3-4 spam msgs per day. wt -- Linux represents a best-of-breed UNIX, that is trusted in mission critical applications, and - due to it's open source code - has a long term credibility which exceeds many other competitive OS's. - Microsoft internal memo - http://www.opensource.org/halloween/halloween2.html _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
