i would very much like to be able to do that, but my mail service, sitelutions.com, evidently doesn't have that functionality, which doesn't make any sense to me at all, so i'm forced to try and deal with it with sa i would have thought that pop3 services would easily include an option to just drop any message for a non-existant account (or bounce it back like what is causing my problem), ideally this would be at the option of the pop3 user, so they could decide if messages coming in were just spam or a legitimate typo, etc so my question remains trying to see if i can get spam assassin to get the job done, thanks for your reply bbxrider
