Very good point Bud, I'm not an expert on the Declude JunkMail by no means.. but I think you have the options of adding or deleting any email checks via spews, rbl, etc. The truth is that there will always be some mail that doesn't get delivered (no matter what). Many reasons vary but to stick with this thread I would tend to believe that the 'few' missed mails far out weight the massive amounts of unwanted mail received without any type of filtering system. IMail's built in filters and access list do a fairly good job at keeping a lot of sporn out of your system. Supplement IMail with Declude, Declude JunkMail, IMGate, etc. will further enhance your filtering semantics and prohibit many different viruses. You could alternatively setup a filter alias forwarding system that would forward all mail rejected by spews to a central user account for later review. ~Thus more staff to sift through the bits.. thanks Guy for the kudos!

Anyway, thanks for clarifying this for me. Yeah, but the biggest one is there are alot of legitimate ANTI-SPAM mail/web hosts that are included in some of the SPAM databases that don't really belong there (spews is probably the worst offender). I know opinions vary widely on this subject, but I don't think anyone should be included by proxy. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ ColdFusion Solutions / eCommerce Development [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.twcreations.com/ 954.721.3452 Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
