That requires IMAP, though, correct? That actually may work for Andy - set up both POP and IMAP, and for selected users have them use IMAP rather then POP and provide them with server-side ham and spam training folders. That won't require all users to use IMAP, with the resulting storage requirements on the server. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ...every time I sit down in front of a Windows machine I feel as if the computer is just a place for the manufacturers to put their advertising. -- fwadling on Y!
