Let me try this again... There must be something that Notes does not like about that. this time, I have saved the text as dumb text using Notepad, then opened it back up with WordPad and pasted it here.... Let's see if thsi works... Let me try this again... "Berger, Gunnar" <GBerger@...> said: > Or how about instead of creating a black list of emails we create a white list > of email addresses that are allowed to come through. Any email not on the > list is put in Junkmail then is scanned for spam, if it is not spam it tells you > "X messages in unapproved folder, X messages considered spam" Several systems are available to do just this. Generally the way they work is that if the sender is not in the recipients address book, the message will either be shuffled to a folder for review. In the case of challenge / response systems, the system will send an E-Mail back to the sender requesting that they identify themselves. If they do so, the text of that message will go to the recipient with a request to approve or deny that address. I have Earthlink as my home ISP and they offer that as part of what they call SpamBlocker. Works pretty well. Have not quite figured out how to handle mailing lists however where it really needs to be able to understand that anything sent via the list is OK. Still working on that one... ----------------------- Jim Walls - K6CCC k6ccc@xxxxxxxxx Mobile Radio Operations Southern California Edison Co.
