But they will deliver your mail by SMTP, and using Addmail, for example, you can reject mail based on whatever criteria you choose. No connect time involved beyond the time needed to reject the header automatically. Demon are absolutely right; they are an ISP for grownups and they furnish the means to filter mail as you wish. It isn't their job to do it for you; I wouldn't want them to be involved with rejecting my mail. -- Peter
