Depends on where you want to "block" the spam - before it gets to you or after. Personally, I prefer an unfiltered POP3 mailbox and do all my filtering locally in Eudora. That's a bit of work, because Eudora doesn't come with any filters initially, but it ensures that I receive all my email. Outcrook, I understand, has some filters built-in. Not sure if letting L'Gates judge what's spam is appropriate. Some email service providers include spam filtering as part of their basic services. USA.NET includes very good filters. Yahoo's are so-so. Hotmail's are terrible - way to many false positives. HotPOP's are ok. Aside - don't get too comfortable with your attbi address; you're going to be merged into the comcast domain and servers eventually. Then you won't have to worry about spam at all -- their servers just aren't up that often! :) - Dan. -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
