Using mailfilter is great for deleting these damn 150K e-mails at the POP3 server, avoiding the modem download time. I started with Clive's .mailfilterrc, and have been adding to it when another Swen slips through. The most important change was to change the From to (FROM|From). Plus a few other addresses. Here are my deny lines, which you could add into Clive's full .mailfilterrc file. DENY=^(From|FROM):.*Customer Bulletin DENY=^(From|FROM):.*(Inet|Internet) (Mail|Email|Service|System|Message).* DENY=^(From|FROM):.*Security Department DENY=^(From|FROM):.*(Email|Mail|Net|Message|Network) (Delivery|Service).* DENY=^(From|FROM):.*microsoft (network|internet).* (service|system).* DENY=^(From|FROM):.*Technical (Assistance|Support).* David Crane -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
