Hi Mark, yes and no .... virus protection sort of means that either the url must appear on a blacklist or the crap actually be downloaded for inspection. >From a differnt point of view ... these are big companies capable of running >their own mail servers (rather than relying on outside service companies to send out the mails) I am customer of one of these companies, and I get mails via an ISP that is a daughter company. Why the hell couldn't the sender use SPF or DKIM and the ISP then actually filter on that. Reducing the possible audience by 90% with this simple step would help. Too bad they are too big to listen to suggestions from their customers... Wolfgang
