Create a filter that kills (or better yet, moves to a folder in a different account) all mail for that user with the additional condition that your user is in the address book group 'Bad users'. That's the killing part of your question. Now you create a rule that places the recipient of the mail in an address book group called 'Bad users' when the subject is something like 'This user account has been terminated!' while the sender is the administrator of the LAN. Now all you have to do is to create on the moment that the account has to be terminated a message is sent by the administrator to the expired user with your termination subject. This can be achieved by starting TB by the scheduler that's integrated within Windows. For the specifics search TB-help for /MAIL Mind you. I haven't tested this, for I'm not running the TB in server mode, nor do I intend to, because I'm already running a real server on my one-person LAN. If it works (and as as I can see it, it should) it has one drawback: The account isn't deleted, it's not getting any new mail, so any old mail can be read/collected until you've physically removed the account. Another option (not one that I'd prefer) is to set a filter to run an external program on a given filter condition. The program in case should be a batch-file or whatever that deletes or renames the account directory for the to be deleted account, so TB can't find the messagebase that belongs to that account. But since I'm not fully aware of the consequences of deleting TB's folders while TB is running... -- Groetjes, Roelof -- ________________________________________________________ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Vers: 1.53d FAQ : http://faq.thebat.dutaint.com
