But I do not use SIMS for email I just use it for SMTP.I use WebStar for mail, would spam traps still work then?
Do you mean that you use SIMS only for outgoing SMTP and W* for incoming?
Yes
SIMS will still run recipient addresses through its router and zap messages addressed to spamtraps. That'll keep you from sending messages to spamtraps, but if your incoming mail doesn't come through your SIMS server, it won't help you stop incoming spam. Of course, if W* Mail has anything like spamtraps (I can't recall if it does or not), implement them there for your incoming mail.
Web* has no such feature. I guess it is time to move to Communicate Pro.
Though I'd certainly not want to be accused of encouraging anyone to stay with Webstar mail, I believe that it DOES have a spamtrap feature. They call it a "poison address", and I've seen it discussed on the Webstar list many times.
