Seems like a good idea. The government address came from Kim Komando (komando.com) as a place to send spam messages where, hopefully, it will help them (the government) deal with the proliferation of spam. t> Can you get rid of msg's flagged for spam by mistake but you t> still don't want to see them and/or send them? I'm not sure I understand your question. All messages fetched from the server are automatically routed thru K9 *before* they land in my inbox. K9 adds the string "-SPAM-" to the subject field of any message it deems to be spam. A TB filter then routes any message flagged as such to a spam folder where I can then view and keep or delete. In the past I have been simply deleting correctly flagged spam messages. If it will help reduce the amount of spam filling everybody's inboxes by sending these spam messages to the government address, why not? I'm not enough of a Pollyanna to believe that it will actually have some impact on the amount of spam but, who knows? I'm simply (or not) trying to combine the forwarding with the deleting (one step) rather than forwarding each message before deleting (two steps.) -- Best regards, Jack mailto:jlar...@charter.net Using TB! v3.99.3 with K9 v1.28 anti spam Windows XP pro 5.1 Build 2600 - Service Pack 3 ________________________________________________ Current version is 4.1.7 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
