I don't know how viruscheck.pl works but you've to note that : 1) in the head of the message there's the XMail header 2) the message MUST be reformatted with CRLF newline The file defaultfilter.tab is no longer checked, the new default file name is .tab > Filters will work on pop3 right? and they should work on incoming SMTP Yep, filter works for pop3 fetched messages as long as for smtp messages as long as locally generated messages. - Davide
