Common legal accepted practice is silent discard mail is forbidden, tagging mail is allowed reject mail is allowed anyway, exception is virus mail as averting of a danger. If its your personal mail you can do what you want. As mail provider you may get contracted to filter. But be sure to have good legal advice if your filter does silent discard. Thats best practice for over 10 years now. And yes laws may miracle included everywhere, there are tons of them in the US i will never understand too *g Best Regards MfG Robert Schetterer -- [*] sys4 AG http://sys4.de, +49 (89) 30 90 46 64 Franziskanerstraße 15, 81669 München Sitz der Gesellschaft: München, Amtsgericht München: HRB 199263 Vorstand: Patrick Ben Koetter, Marc Schiffbauer Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Florian Kirstein
