Blocking on the receive side, that's something that is very well covered in a huge number of tools, blocking on the sending, that's one heck of a lot more difficult. Wouldn't it give you the same effect, or does the filtering occur at the wrong point in your processing, to be able to block the retransmission (time to test it). > Thanks > > _________________________________________________________________ > Give to a good cause with every e-mail.
