Well - that's only because Declude doesn't support regular expressions. I face this problem constantly - the INCLUDES filters are a nice feature - but are TOO generic. I consider RegExp handling a much more desirable feature than ODBC. Currently "mail.com" will filter or whitelist "*mail.com*" which includes "hotmail.com" or "junkmail.com.uk" - NEITHER of which were intended. >> Just as you don't want a filter to catch all mail from Dr. Dick Hitchcock, << With regular expressions, at least the " cock " could be isolated --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
