A mail address inside angle brackets is a standard e-mail address format. The procmail filter at http://spastic.sourceforge.net handles the problem of getting e-mail not addressed to you through an "allowed" file. You just list valid addresses (or regexps) that can be in the To: or Cc: header in a file. All others are marked as spam and dumped into a spam file that you can review later. It has many other filters you can use for other headers, the body, valid domains, etc. Best Regards, Keith -- LPIC-2, MCSE, N+ Got spam? Get spastic http://spastic.sourceforge.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
