* This is the vopmailbeta mailing list *
okay, I didn't turn it on. I wasn't interested in blocking spam though. I've just had this user got stuck twice unable to download his mail. it would get to some message and get stuck. it wasn't a size issue as all the file sizes were small. we opened the files on the server, deleted all the junk mail, and the real ones got through. I suppose you're telling me that what I really need to do is get webmail installed so that if this happens again they can try to delete the mail that way. Frank M.
