If you get over 1000 spam messages a day (as I would if my server didn't aggressively filter them), then you're going to miss the occasional genuine message amongst them. Particularly when that message has a suspiciously bland/generic subject line, as is often the case with correspondents whose native language is not English. Can I suggest people simply upgrade their mail software? The "vacation" program, for instance, has been free since at least the 1980s, and isn't so dumb as to reply to mailinglists. -- Nick Kew In urgent need of paying work - see http://www.webthing.com/~nick/cv.html
