I didn't even realize how much until I logged on to cpanel and checked it out. I also get very little spam on this myrealbox account which is managed by Novell, so they are obviously doing something on the back-end as well. Hotmail has gotten a lot better also. Yahoo, IMO, is far and away the worst in the spam filtering department. Fighting spam at the email-client is a losing battle. jon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
