Filtering should be done server side. If you do it client side then SquirrelMail needs to fetch an amount of headers before filtering can takes place and that can slow down SquirrelMail a lot if the amount of headers (large mailboxes) is huge. If you use an imap server with sieve support (another method for server side filtering) then you can use the avelsieve plugin for creating sieve filters. You don't need procmail anymore when you have sieve. Regards, Marc Groot Koerkamp. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
