Since getting really irritated about spam, I've been opening the headers to take a look. So far, most of the junk I get comes from a psi domain. Does PSI serve any other purpose? If not I am going to try and figure out how to use this email package's spam filter to block anything from PSI, totally. Lately I also see Juno and Hotmail used a fair amount, as well but these are harder to block as so many individuals make use of their services for normal email. Also, if one simply can not determine the origin of the spam, it can be sent to one's own provider and they can usually do a better job than those of us who are amateurs (as in me). You are 100% right about how seriously the ISP's are taking this issue. I am using Netcom and they have decided to terminate anyone spamming from their server -- if they learn of it -- meaning they have to be informed. Cheers, Allan B.
