Hi SCN, On Saturday, October 26, 2002, 9:55 PM, you put forth, in part, about "blocking IP address vs domain name.":
S> I want to block the following IP address S> 66-214-156-51.riv-eres.charterpipeline.net instead of merely the S> domaing name. Blocking is best done through a firewall or DNS for a specific IP address. By blocking an address, it will not enter your system if you are running your own mail server, or at all, to be more specific. However, if you receive this mail by POPing your ISP to get your mail in TB!, then you effectively cannot block the mail, as it is not sent to you directly via SMTP, but you get it through your ISP by downloading or popping your mail. What you can do, is filter the incoming mail, the inbox that is, for this IP address, so filter inbox. kludges (headers) with string [66-214-156] .. I think your headers will actually show it to be 66.214.156.51 not 66-214-156 .... So, filter [66.214.156] .. you will not need the last set of octets. The first three should suffice quite nicely. Filter on that string, location Kludges, Presence = yes, and have it move messages to trash. You can then set, if you have not done so already, to remove trash on exit. This will take care of that problem as your mail comes into your inbox. Another way of handling it is to use the mail dispatcher feature. You can invoke this by Account / Dispatch mail on server, to manually start this process, or set it to do it automatically in Account / properties / mail management / mail dispatcher. You will then see you mail before it is downloaded, and you can hand delete the offending files, while it is on your ISP's server, before it reaches you. -- Best regards, Gary Too much of a good thing can be wonderful. ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
