Iiiieeeuuuuupp. procmail is the ticket. OTOH, verizon seems to stop quite a bit, my nightly SA report only averages about 5% spam in my incoming, or less than 70 spam msgs in a given day. Apparently they haven't found my gmail account yet, its activity, after proving it works, has been zilch. -- 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. I do use spamassassin too. :-) Yahoo.com and AOL/TW attorneys please note, additions to the above message by Gene Heskett are: Copyright 2006 by Maurice Eugene Heskett, all rights reserved. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
