Here, down under, that's the norm - I've never heard of an ISP which so despises the 'S' that there's no mail. We generally have a choice of IMAP or POP3. (I have fetchmail set to use the latter.) > Other than that, it just works, and I'm only getting perhaps .01% of the > spam I was getting thru a qmail server I used previously as an ex > employee. Ditto. I've had to use my ISP's GUI utility to relax their spam filtering, else I miss out on even notices of specials from the vendors I deal with. The few unwanted which then also sneak in are just diverted with an additional procmail recipe, as that utility is already in place for distributing list mail to individual mailboxes. (Saves learning yet another app when not really needed.) Erik
