Then the work would be similar.... I think popsneaker should work with apop - below isa snip from the manual ,---- | This is the 0.6 release of popsneaker. It contains some redesigns in | the networking code to make popsneaker more modular. While prior | versions support only the POP3 protocol, it should become possible now | to connect to servers using many different methods. The following | mail-retrieval protocols are currently supported: POP3 (incl. APOP). `---- On the other hand I believe that many of the current wave of spam messages are very large - over 100K - so it should be possible simply ti filter them with either procmail or fetchmail on that basis - I set up popsneaker here before discovering this ;-) Good luck Glyn
