Assuming you have a firewall either on a router or your computer, you could just close port 25 (or whatever other port you have SMTP set up on) to prevent your system sending messages. Similarly closing port 110 would stop the message download. You could also use a proxy like XRay for sending and/or receiving mail. That allows a single click to enable or disable its operation. -- Robin Anson Using The Bat! v2.12.00 on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 1 Running [EMAIL PROTECTED] (see: www.setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu) No of SETI units returned: 303 Processing time: 1 years, 248 days, 0 hours. ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.12.00 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
