Dave - You might want to look into Junk Matcher available for free at Source Forge. It's an add on to mail.app in the rules area. I've been very pleased at how well it removes/segregates junk and spam. I have no experience with .mac and I don't know enough to comment on why you've been unable to filter stuff from your cable connection, but this might help as it looks at all your incoming mail and applies some pretty sophisiticated rules. Here's the URL: junkmatcher.sourceforge.net/Home/ Hope it works, John > -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
