While I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "on the server" (I assume you're not talking about installing a package yourself on a POP server, but a feature within your local e-mail client; correct me if that interpretation is wrong), I assume you're looking for ways to zap spam without having to download it in the first place. I'd think that would be tough for a couple of reasons: (1) Bayesian filtering requires access to the body of the message to work. If you're only looking at headers on the server, then filtering effectiveness would be reduced dramatically. (2) No filter is perfect. You're going to get some false positives and negatives no matter what, and you need to be able to handle those, too. How would you handle that if the messages were on the server? Refusing them outright is too dangerous, as genuine messages may be zapped. --- Scott T. Hards President HobbyLink Japan (www.hlj.com)
