Its solvable Steve, but at the expense of a considerable amount of wheel spinning in kmail, by haveing it do the pipe thru SA. I am now doing the SA check in procmail for all incoming as that offloads a considerable amount of time from kmail giving it much more responsive a face. However, I am still doing the destination sorting via kmail, so I could pick d-u off before it checks the headers SA adds, but I see little or nothing to be gained by that in the real world. But that is one way I suppose. I suppose one could write a procmail rule to bypass the SA run there, but again, to what real world effect? >-- >Steve Lamb -- Cheers, Gene People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word 'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's stupid bounce rules.
