The email I received from them says that I will be able to setup server-side mail filtering on all of my incoming mail using "Mail Filters", which are available on the new server via webmail, under "Options". > 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. I am not sure which method they are going to use for server side filtering. I will ask to clarify this. Thanks a ton for your comments. BTW, I am still not sure if "Mail Filters" section under "Options" in squirrel mail supports pattern matching. Or, if I have missed something, pardon my ignorance; I am new to this webmail configuration stuff. regards, ->HS ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
