yes, spamming pb's are from sending mail from the mail client (or SMTP
server) to an SMTP server (eg, Imail). While POP3 is only for reading
mail, and that can be read from any ip address, your block or compuserve's.
So the above split, send-SMTP-to-Compuserve plus read-POP3-from-Imail will
protect you (dumping the pb on compuserve).

yes, "SMTP Security" setting apply only to SMTP traffic. Web Messaging is
HTTP for "sending / entering" to Imail, and then Imail SMTP's to the
destination SMTP server.
