Thanks for the plink suggestion. That works for me, also. I found the -pw option to include the password on the command line (not secure, I know). This allowed me to fire off a ssh connection without being prompted for anything. I tried putting this on an outgoing filter on items put in the Outbox by setting it as the external program to run in the Account!Filters!Actions tab. Here's what I hoped TB! would do: 1. See the message in the Outbox 2. Trigger my sshSend filter (and match the message) 3. Run the external program (plink to establish ssh) 4. Send the message There may be a timing issue between 3 & 4. It takes a second or so to establish the connection. I don't know how to tell TB! when the connection is up. When I press "Send the letter", TB! comes back immediately with "Could not connect to server" and the message remains in the Outbox. I right click on the folder and choose "Refilter messages..." & check "Outgoing mail" - a dos-like window appears for a couple of seconds and the message disappears from the Outbox. But, I don't know where the message went! It was a test message to myself and it never makes it to the server as far as I can tell. How can I tell what a filter did with a message? The log doesn't say much other than that a filter was run. -- Dave Kennedy ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
