This is harder [since it would require that the ISP maintain, manage and handle tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of filter sets. Barracuda will do that (<http://www.barracudanetworks.com/>) but it doesn't "install" on the ISP but actually runs as a standalone front end for the ISP: Internet->barracuda->ISP->you > 2-Filtered email (SPAM) would be diverted to ISP delete folder. Barracuda handles that -- the problem, of course, is how the customers ACCESS the 'deleted folder'. Barracuda's web interface includes accessing its 'quarantine' area [and gives you machinery for reclassifying errors]. Barracuda also supports per-user black- and white- lists. > 3-ISP Delete folder would hold email for 14 days then auto-delete. Dunno how that works but barracuda has some sort of machinery for purging spam... you should contact them... /Bernie\ -- Bernie Cosell Fantasy Farm Fibers mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Pearisburg, VA --> Too many people, too few sheep <-- -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about problems: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unofficial Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://winhome.wavijo.com/
