It is a POP3 proxy, it sits between your mailserver and your mail client. That means that when it arrives in your mail client, it has passed through K9 and an identifier has been placed in the message if it is spam. Then it's up to you to do what you want with it. If you use a decent email client with good filtering capabilities, you can file it in a folder for reveiw, delete it, file it with an expiry date so that it will be deleted after x days, or forward it to your granny. -- Lexacorp Ltd http://www.lexacorp.com.pg Information Technology Consultancy, Software Development,System Support.
