When you miss that important email because it was sent from someone that was blacklisted incorrectly, I will remind you of those 600 other messages and ask you which was more important, the one or the 600 <g> I really hate it when my ISP decides to reject some email that *they* think is spam but is actually real and sometimes important. I currently have everything they offer disabled and rely on the plugin. That way I get all the messages. As a side note, those same blacklists cause me no end of headache when I get one of the dozen or so weekly support requests from folks whose newsletters have stopped because some site has blacklisted everything that is sent using Lyris ... or some fool forgot that they signed up for the newsletter (they have to submit an email to us that is reviewed and then approved, no auto-registration) and reports us and some portion of the other 999 readers are inconvenienced <sigh> Can you tell I don't like the black list model? <g> -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Using The Bat! v3.86.03 ALPHA (beta) on Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.85.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
