I'm afraid not. POP is a simple protocol which always involves
downloading. IMAP is more advanced, but even that doesn't do forwarding,
as far as I know.

As I wrote yesterday, it would be possible to add functionality to
AntiSpam to handle that type of relaying/forwarding automatically (I
once started on something like that - never finished it though). It
would still involve retrieving messages to your RiscPC first, but that
could be done in such a way that MPro would never see them.

P.S. Let's hope FreeLists have their problems sorted out now and this
