You'll probably have to explain more specifics about your setup to get much help.... what I will suggest (and this may or may not work for you) would be to run an IMAP server off of your home machine, and setup webmail on that machine as well if you want (squirrelmail would work fine). Then use getmail or fetchmail or something to retrieve (and delete) all your mail from your ISP. Use procmail or maildrop to send the mail through SpamAssassin and filter suspected spam to a different IMAP folder; check this folder at your leisure. Disclaimer: I haven't used getmail or fetchmail at all, and I haven't personally tried a solution like this. If you want further help, please explain your current setup in more detail. Of course, if you have shell and IMAP access to the ISP mail machine in the first place, you can bypass a lot of this. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: INetU Attention Web Developers & Consultants: Become An INetU Hosting Partner.
