Hello Shelby, I run a few mail servers, and have built many more. I personally would have no desire for my mail to be handled by POP3, passed in cleartext across the public internet, when I simply log into my machine securely (locally or remotely) and type "mail" to access my email. Further, I am not interested in having my mail sit on someone elses server. Don't get me wrong Shelby, I HAVE a POP3 server, that I built myself, for the use of friends and affiliates. Nor do I have the desire to collect 2-3000 mail boxes in my lifetime, for all of the business relationships I may make during this period. IF you want to get rid of spam, try communism, wherein there is no need for commercial messages of any type. Seems easier than a complete rewrite and redeployment of SMTP, which is what would be necessary inthis instance. Scott
