I wondered if that might be the explanation, but I delete stuff every 3 minutes, and when I was away for a week recently I only accumulated about 7MB of junk out of the 10 allocated to me. It seems to me the chance of filling 10MB in 3mins is not large. I think it's probably due to poorly designed ISP filtering. I've complained but I'm not sure I'm gettiing through to them - I was asked to send them copies of the bounces, which of course I'm not getting - it's the people mailing me that get them - they don't seem to understand that :( - Richard. -- Richard Kimber http://www.psr.keele.ac.uk/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
