A user could easily define a set of rules that would overload the system. You have a couple of alternatives: (1) get a hosted box that *you* control. I am very pleased with my virtual server at unixshell. http://www.unixshell.com/ (2) you may be able to set up a personal configuration of SA rather than (or, more likely, in addition to) running the global one the hosting provider controls. Depending on the delivery mechanism (you're in luck if it's procmail) you could run SA over the messages *again* with the site-config directory set to a directory under your $HOME, with whatever rules you want in addition to the default rules. You might annoy the hosting provider if you do that, though. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] FALaholic #11174 pgpk -a [EMAIL PROTECTED] key: 0xB8732E79 -- 2D8C 34F4 6411 F507 136C AF76 D822 E6E6 B873 2E79 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- So Microsoft's invented the ASCII equivalent to ugly ink spots that appear on your letter when your pen is malfunctioning. -- Greg Andrews, about Microsoft's way to encode apostrophes ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Today: The 4th anniversary of the loss of STS-107 Columbia
