OS X adds more ability to manage this feature; in E2001 you are kinda stuck. My advice is just to leave it alone. You cannot turn it off; you cannot control what goes into it. The only thing is, Entourage monitors the most recently used and most used addresses, and keeps those in the list while dropping out others. If you leave it alone, eventually those spammers will disappear from the list and it will contain mostly useful addresses. If you keep clearing it, Entourage has to start from scratch trying to determine which addresses belong in it. I have EvX, but I have NEVER cleared the most recently used list, and it works very well for me. -- My web page: <http://home.earthlink.net/~allenwatson/> My scripts page: <http:homepage.mac.com/allenwatson> Microsoft MVP for Mac Entourage/Word--<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
