Hi Malcolm, Jim, all... For dial ups and low speed access this won't work well as all you mail is delivered to your system. BUT if you have high speed access why not just use Popfile? It filters out all the spam automatically on your own machine and puts it into the trash or a "SPAM" file. It takes a few weeks of training for it to learn what you think is SPAM and what is mail but it works really well, mine has been running for many, many months and is currently at about 99.7% accuracy. All you get is the good stuff, it cannot help you on the virus issues but that's what Norton's or MacAfee's AV programs are for. Look here: http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ Works great!
