As an AntiSpam user, I find that I quite frequently make a cock-up with my rules. It's quite possible to forget to regularly check SysLog's Deleted log. So I made a simple multi-tasking app to look at this file and see if there was anything there. If there is, it opens the log file in a default text editor - difficult to ignore, particularly as it comes back every 5 minutes if you don't delete its content and resave! It may be that it will be useful to other users, in which case download it and put it in Tasks. If it proves a nuisance, just delete it! It takes a miniscule amount of your machine's processor time, and may be worth a try! It's saved me a few times from defective rules files, and hasn't caused me too much effort, but your mileage may vary! It's available from: http://irene.williams.free.fr/software/checkdel.htm if you fancy giving it a try. Best wishes, John
