I'm snipping out alot of Robert's response, and not bothering recopying others, but I just wanted to thank everyone again for their responses on this. I am passing along the relevent opinions (WITHOUT passing along your names or emails) to Lunarpages. I hope this will help convince them to do something. And you're right. I should not be bashing Spam Assassin. But neither should Lunarpages! I suppose their argument is something like "hey we give this to you for free, what more do you want?". As for me going elsewhere, I think my best option at this point is to just go back to the "old" way of using my own client software on my computer. And find one with a strong filter of its own. Anyone have any good results with Firefox Thunderbird? Andy
