Harm, Sorry, I don't know of anything like that, but there are two other possibilities you might look into: * See http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/FightingSpam#Killing_Spam_before_Downloading for a description of what dds is doing -- they installed procmail, gave each user his own .procmailrc and made a web interface to create procmail recipes in an "outlook" style. "giving them the possibility of filtering email on the serverside themselves did make a difference! It gave them a feeling we are fighting spam, and that THEY are also in control!" * There is a kde product, called kshowmail -- "KShowmail is a KDE utility to show headers or the complete mails on pop3 servers without transfering them to the local mail client. Unpleasant mails can be deleted on the server. The information can be refreshed via timers." hope this helps, Randy Kramer
