I've had a couple of similar success stories. Many admins are jerks about it, though. "We've been doing it this way for years and you're the only one who has a problem with it, etc., etc." However, in general I think more people are starting to take spam filtering seriously and work with it, not against it. It's certainly in the best interest of a business to actually get their email to their clients. -- Matt Systems Administrator Local Access Communications 360.330.5535 ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
