I always have Mailwasher running, and while I doubt that the bounce feature has any value, find that it is a pretty handy tool for deleting spam before downloading the messages to TB. You can probably find a number of freeware tools that will allow you to do much of what Mailwasher does. Someone else recommended Spamcop. I occasionally use that service in conjunction with a TB macro. It's much more time consuming that just deleting the offending messages as sending an email to Spamcop is only half the process. You must also wait for an email link for each spam email that you sent to Spamcop, then go to their site to finish processing the isp reporting piece. I have doubts that it is efficacious in reducing spam but it does "feel better" than just deleting the spam! jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
