So now I use a Linux server with Spam Assassin and Amavis to catch spams and viruses. I was back in the UK for two and a half weeks over xmas during which time it caught 2000 messages which I didn't need to see. Spams are automatically put into an IMAP folder called spam and I glance through it now and again to see if anything has been caught by accident. Very rarely has. -- Ian J Cottee Nagoya, Japan
