Hi Steve and Clive, (further to my earlier post to Steve's post) Don't you have to be online 24/7 to "(reject spam at SMTP time)"? I see that you Clive have an address which shows you have your own domain whereas Steve has a yahoo account. I use pon + fetchmail to get my mail from a pop3 server at my isp every couple of days, isn't it to late to reject then? Am I misunderstanding something? I would like to (reject spam at SMTP time) also. I will read the doc's you posted links to Clive. -- Chris. ====== Reproduction if desired may be handled locally. -- rfc3 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
