I do not have a fixed IP, although I use No-IP to translate my IP to a fixed "named address", which works quite well. I also know nothing about mail servers nor all the rest. I have so much to do that I cringe at the thought of piling anything more on my plate. John W.

However, most hosts provide basic spamfilters if you prefer so - did you check that out? Further, if you have a fixed IP address I can recommend running your own mail server. One of the very best, hMailServer, is free and open-source and runs on Windows: http://www.hmailserver.com/ Support from the forum and the developer is excellent, and setup is piece of cake if you know just a little about the Internet mail mechanics. /gustav >>> jwcolby at colbyconsulting.com 10-08-2007 16:24 >>> Gustav, As soon as I pick you up on the control panel I "allow" your email so in fact you do not have to respond. Your email as well as every one else on the list that has popped up so far is now coming right through because I manually "allowed" you to. Either way, you respond or I allow, it only has to be done one time and then it works just fine. I have not had time yet to evaluate the full impact, but I am a small company, with a small number of regular correspondents (with the exception of this list). I can appreciate the "challenge / response sucks" mentality but I don't have a mail server under my control. I use the pop server that comes with my web site. This works at the client level and so I am trying it. My apologies for any inconvenience. John W.
