I followed a lead someone else left to check to see if my ISP was adding a spam line. While this was not my problem I am now using it to send anything with a header x-smartermail-spam: to my Junk folder and will see if this works OK. So far so good. This is just a workaround though as only half my mail goes through this ISP and the other ISP don't provide this service. -- Best regards, Stuart mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.61.09 Echo (Beta) On Windows XP 5.1 Build #2600 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.61.09 (Echo) | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
