Alan, it's a feature that your ISP must provide--at least for it to work the way it does at IO. IO has their email server set up to filter SPAM before the users see or download it. They have also set up filter files on the Unix server where each user can add their own addresses/domains/IPs to filter. Filtering with Communicator is about as good, except that you'll still download the mail before it gets filtered--unless Communicator is smart enough to look at the headers on the server and delete before downloading. I'm not even sure that's possible. Jeff Walther -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
