If they have turned on server side filters you can look for keywords and use that to move them to a 'probably spam' folder. You really need to address this question to them as they control which plug-ins are available. Note: filtering for SPAM can get very processor intensive so they may have chosen not to do so. We do web hosting and couldn't turn anti-virus filtering on until we got new hardware. Bottom line you need to taok to your ISP. If you are interested you can go to the squirrelmail site and look at the plugins and suggest some to them. However, they may not match their configuration. ------ William R.
