Sounds like you need a new ISP. L> my mail is [EMAIL PROTECTED] If for some reason you're stuck with Cyberonic, then you can get a new email address with another system that does nothing but host email for you, and will use SpamAssassin to filter that email. You'll probably have to pay a little for that service, but if you are stuck otherwise, it can be worth it. I can send you a recommendation off-list if you want.

If your software is capable enough, then yes, you should be able to teach it to filter your messages so a) messages to your specific address, in the To: or Cc: header, are delivered normally. b) messages from mailing lists you participate in (like this one) are delivered normally. c) messages to [EMAIL PROTECTED] AND NOT to your address are dumped immediately. d) all other messages are set aside into a folder where you can review them to make sure you don't miss anything else important. Since we don't know what email software you use on your computer, nobody can make recommendations on how to do that (at least not yet). Bob Menschel
