No, I don't have or run those two packages but glad you've got MW working. The only feature of MailWasher I don't like is the 'bounce' feature. Most spam has invalid return addresses and MailWasher does not do any parsing of headers so it creates a bounce to an invalid address. That ends up in a bit bucket somewhere and just adds a little to internet traffic. Not much, but if all the users used it on all the spam it might create enough traffic to have an affect here or there. -- Ed "Words are loaded pistols." -Jean-Paul Sartre (1905-1980) _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
