The disadvantage, as I mentioned, is that sometimes you get mail tagged as spam erroneously if a person happens to be legitimate and residing on a DNSBL flagged server. You also have to run a 3rd party program that needs to be updated periodically, ties up more system resources, to achieve the same net result. Simply using The Bat's built in capabilities seems more streamlined. I've gone both routes, but this is what I've found works for me. In either case, it seems ridiculous that we all have to jump these hoops in order to eliminate unwanted, unrequested junk mail. I hate spam. :( - -- Kevin Coates Dewitt, NY USA _________________________________________________________________ AIM:kbc49 ICQ:2727351 Yahoo/MSM:kbc1949 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.1.91-nr1 (Windows 2000) iD8DBQE9i6dg+iLuzNeXThwRAtioAKDQWw2/Vh7suufXh50FGGlms1glaACg+hH9n/ymGZGtJknC7OcaYHSf3OIXo= =KTYb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
