Pls benchmark before talking. A thin client written in C is so fast that its execution time literally vanish compared to the execution time of your filter. I had something like this that I was using to load an SMTP server for benchmark testing and it was capable of 600000 runs per hour on a PIII 900MHz. - 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]
