But the account isnīt a freemail service, itīs a paid service, and a big one for Argentina (50.000 users at 3 to 10 accounts each). Although, half of the spam is spanish, so I think commercial spam filters would have a hard time figuring it out, as common spanish has at least four times the amount of words as the full non-technical english; and every dialect has words unique to them. -- Best regards, mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Diego +------------------------------ | The Bat! 3.0.1.33 + K9 v1.28 | Windows XP Build 2600 +------------------------------
