Spammers >don't seem to use plain text. Exactly. The last filter that all incoming email hits on my systems looks for HTML within the email message and routes those messages to the SPAM mailbox. This filter is the last one because I do accept HTML email from known good sources such as the PIClist. But any HTML messages that haven't already been filtered into their appropriate mailboxes by the time it gets to that filter get tossed. dwayne -- Dwayne Reid Trinity Electronics Systems Ltd Edmonton, AB, CANADA (780) 489-3199 voice (780) 487-6397 fax www.trinity-electronics.com Custom Electronics Design and Manufacturing -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
