Sorry, I didn't explain very well, although I did say i used it to avoid certain groups. What I meant was that I used different identities for each iteration of Agent (i.e. multiple copies of Agent each with a different reply to address). I used the spam volume to weed out groups which were heavily harvested (which could tell simply by the amount of mails) and switched to other groups with the same subject matter where spam volumes were low or non-existent (yes, there are some <g>). I'm sure that's not what you were assuming I meant, so sorry if I mislead you. -- Best regards, Mike ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
