Thanks, Allie :) Personally, I myself almost set up a filter on "xxx", until one day I started receiving messages originating from an old friend of mine, who, believe it or not, had an account [EMAIL PROTECTED] or something like that. Yes, all x'es. Some time later, I encountered hostnames containing "xxx" but not having anything to do with any porn - heck, some of the true XXX websites offer free email boxes, with xxx in the hostname somewhere! And their customers should hardly expect being filtered out wherever they write from their @somethingxxx.com addresses, should they? My point is - your simple "xxx" rule can be largely expected to match much more than it was supposed to :] -- Fools rush in where angels fear to tread. |\ /| \~~~/ \~~~/ WWW: http://none :( | \/ | /\ > < \~/ > < E-M: maxxx[at]rpg.pl |____| /__\ /___\ /_\ /___\ ICQ: 3146019 Flyin' high with The Bat! v1.62 Christmas Edition over the swamps of Windows 2000 5.0 build 2195 Dodatek Service Pack. 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 1.62b16 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
