Hello Chris This could slow things down by some margin, everytime the cross-post found a match you would get a copy and a move action, so if the message was posted to three groups, that would be six actions for the one message. And every message would have to go through every filter. I have some twenty filters setup and if I have a quiet day with only 50 Emails, that would be a thousand checks - minimum. All my spam filters are server side so rarely gets through, which is a help. Thanks for the idea - but I think I'll leave things as they are and only get the message in the filter with the first hit. -- Regards Jules -- No one is interested in my underpants. -- Bart Simpson
