Based on your description, I'm not quite sure what you are trying to accomplish. Where is the mail coming from and how is it being read? SpamAssassin is usually installed on a mail server to filter the mail passing through the server. It can also be used with a pop3 proxy to filter mail being downloaded to a mail client such as Outlook Express. If you are reading your mail directly from yahoo, hotmail, etc, then the mail never passes through a point where it could be filtered. Give us a better description of your situation and we can give a more definite answer. Bowie
