First of all, apologies for the double posts ... don't know quite how that happened !! Just have to be careful I guess ... hasn't been a problem for us here but I agree it takes time to get used to the system. At first you are slower at the pre-scan but soon learn to recognise the mail you want to get. That's also maybe the difference between how we do it and the way others think about it ... we don't look for the bad mail to block but rather look for the good mail we want to get, by default - mail we don't want is SPAM, regardless of content < lol > -- 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
