Look I had this idea way before SCOPE pr *SCOPE born. You can lookup the mailing list archive or ask to the older mailing list members. You have three component : 1) XMail 2) Filter thin client 3) Filter server The filter thin client is run by XMail and talks to the filter server in wahtever way you like. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
