Very pleased to have you jump in. Thank you for converting my message to something Techies can understand rather than the IT illiterate idiots like me ;-) The only application that divides me from incoming mail is Kerio Personal Firewall and I use AVG Anti Virus which is not capable of recognising my incoming mail unless I try to open it and it contains a virus it will then intercept. I collect my mail by using 127.0.0.1 which you quite rightly point out is my own machine. My satellite connection downloads mail without my PC being directly connected to the internet via my ISP and dumps the mail into a personal folder and using 127.0.0.1 successfully locates this folder and gives me email. There are NO additional local spam filters nor message mangling programs although I have never heard of one of these and would surely know if I had downloaded and installed one presumably. -- Morpheus ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
