Bull. By using spam/virus filtering on their end, they are saving on bandwidth between the ISP and the end-user. Thus, even if they can't/don't use SpamAssassin & Amavisd, and must spend money on filtering s/w, it still saves them money by not having to upgrade the downstream h/w. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jefferson, LA USA "A C program is like a fast dance on a newly waxed dance floor by people carrying razors."
