Not at all - all mail headers are looked at before deciding whether to download or not. You soon learn to spot the legitimate mail so that leaves the SPAM, again easy to spot, and the unfamiliar mail which comes in for a closer inspection. If suspicious looking then it either gets deleted or left on the server till we can check it out more thoroughly. As a case in point, when the recent Bugbear / Tanatos virus hit we were on-line at the time and immediately picked up that there was something funny going on. Those suspicious e-mails were automatically blocked from being downloaded - if were not as vigilant then we too would have been a possible victim before the AV houses could put out the patches against the new virus. I don't know about anyone else but we have invested a lot of time and money setting up our computer network here to let it be compromised by a lack of care on our part. Maybe we are guilty of being over-cautious, but better that than to be not cautious enough perhaps ? -- Best regards, Barry2 Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build 2222 ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
