You could see if your ISP/Network Admin can do some filtering. Not sure if you could do it with the rules in Mail.app. - Darrin >> dear John, Scott, Rossi and Darrin: Thank you all for your comments. For some reason this reminds me of when I was a kid, and there were roads where we lived out in the country that no cars traveled one. (People didn't have many cars out in the boonies) Just people on foot and bicycles. It was so quiet and so without, well, collisions. Then after the cars came, man, there was never any peace thereafter. But people adapted. Maybe viruses are the same. Just something we have to put up with, like traffic, or like static on a radio. As long as not damaging, just annoyance, ok, I can handle it. But messing with my files---that's it. All bets off, all gloves off... all best Kub
