Yes there is. The problem is that you are expecting your lingo to be used in the descriptions, but you need to adopt the correct vocab for this. What you need is filtering software, forget "direct incoming mail automatically", however accurate. If you can possibly manage it, you should install server side filtering software (procmail, sieve, maildrop, etc), and use the matching plugin (Server Side Filter, Sieve, etc), but if you want the poor-person's replacement that will work with the flip of a switch, just enable the filters plugin that already came with your SquirrelMail installation. > [http://www.squirrelmail.org/plugins_category.php?category_id=3] > > I would appreciate any direction you might give. > > Steve > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf -- squirrelmail-users mailing list Posting Guidelines: http://squirrelmail.org/wiki/wiki.php?MailingListPostingGuidelines List Address: [email protected] List Archives: http://news.gmane.org/thread.php?group=gmane.mail.squirrelmail.user List Archives: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum_id=2995 List Info: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/squirrelmail-users
