John, FWIW, .. Via the taskbar I am with you on your synopsis of IPSwitches' attempt, good as it may be, to try and thwart spam. I am one whom doesn't have the "hours" to spend trying to milk IMail's anti-spam hog into use so I've elected to use ASSP: http://assp.sourceforge.net/. Works great and it's free. There is a few folks there, ASSP mail list, that have the common sense abilities to ensure that the free software stops 99% of all spam. I'm not bias; I still believe it's the ISP's problem, via there sale of bandwidth vs. the volume of spam complaints, that fuel's the dollars associate to do such. It's all a matter of bucks to the ISP's and until they are forced to accept the reality that 'most' people don't want spam it will continue. ~Rick _____________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by - http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
