Whether filtering on the client side with procmail, or filtering on the server side with your local MTA, (that would be the mailserver right there on your Linux machine) both methods will require you to do some research and reading before you can actually implement the filtering scheme. ONce you've gotten this underway though killing spam becomes somewhat of a onesided game. you 100 spammers 0 know what I mean? -- daRcmaTTeR --------------------------------------------------------------------- If at first you don't succeed do what your wife told you to do the first time!
