Bad idea. SIMS' state-of-the-90s antispam options plus Mac OS 9's
state-of-the-90s underpinnings are no longer a winning combination,
alas.
I gave up on my SIMs box on Mac OS 9.1 a few months ago - the spam on
accounts which have been public and are linked on thousands of pages
on a couple of web sites just became more than I could deal with.
I've traded and hour or two a week taking care of denying or allowing
people who want to sign up to a message board (and ironically
probably 75% of them are spammers too!!!) I have an interest in for
having 10 eMail accounts hosted by the ISP dude who owns the board.
The spam is down from many hundreds a week to less than 10 getting
through to my mailboxes.
And I don't have a 6100 running in my basement full time now.
Cheers
Roger
