You should take a look at Mailfilter: http://mailfilter.sourceforge.net Simple to set up and configure - it's totally standalone. It does not even require that you run Sendmail, Postfix or any other MTA. You also don't need Fetchmail or Procmail. Hardest part is setting up your .mailfilterrc, which really isn't hard. It will delete unwanted messages on the mail server without you having to download them, which is really great if you've got a slow connection like dialup. Let's you set up a whitelist, just in case your filter rules are so strict that wanted mail would be deleted. cheers, Robert
