Bijan, Joey & Steve, There are many of us who must use pop3-from-the-ISP, since they block port 25, and we aren't lucky enough to be able to run private mail servers at work, University or co-lo. And *even if I did run my own mail server*, all of the virus/spam- filled packets would *still* have to be sent down to me. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jefferson, LA USA "I'm not a vegetarian because I love animals, I'm a vegetarian because I hate vegetables!" unknown -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
