I use fetchmail and that hands the mail off to exim which delivers it locally to me and I have exim employing the use of clamav for scanning my mail for viri. anyone that thinks they won't get a virus sent to them is folling themselves and I'm of the oppinion as well, if I catch it I have a directive that allows me never to see the emails. not only that I filter my email through spamassassin as well. you can never have too much security I believe even if it's over kill. -- Shaun Oliver "I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person." email: shaun.oliver at optusnet.com.au WEB: http://blindman.homelinux.org/~blindman/ IRC: irc.awesomechat.net:6666 IRCNICK: blindman
