greetings matt, congrats on your new position. everyone has a horrible time with spam. so do not feel alone. > no one has done anything in the past to resolve it. because it is such a problem, is most likely why none prior to you have tried to relieve it. you have had several fine suggestions thru this list and may well get more. just which one you settle with is not going to be an easy decision to make. once you do, your biggest problem is still ahead of you. what are you going to decide is spam and what is desired my isp customers? you will need to set up some sort of 'spam abuse' address for customers to send complaints to. and you are going to find some of those complaints are ging to be that customers are no longer receiving their spam. what is spam to goose, is reading pleasure for gander. to me, casino ads are spam, to others it is a 1 in 1,000,000 chance for them to make money. to me, nude site ads are spam, to others it is a place to get their jollies. so, as a suggestion, before your keep anyone from become a millionare, or make someone who is over sexed become selibate, ask... also, because you have disabled your html, [i would advise getting out of targeted ole], if you would like, i would be glad to send you my list of spam filters. i imagine some others on this list might do same. but do remember, ask before you filter. else someone else may be faced with problem you are now facing. and remember, nothing worth having ever comes easy. good luck. tc,hago. g . =+= think green... save a tree, save a life, save time, save bandwidth, save storage. send text email.. text/plain - disable pgp/gpg/geek code =+= if you are proud to be an american, then buy "made in america". =+=
