No lost messages; but after restart, the same y messages will be
retrieved again.

I've been using a slight modification of Winfried Tilanus' original of
this script [http://www.xs4all.nl/~wtilanus/spam.html] all year with
just one of several PMMail/2 v2.20.238 accounts; it has identified over
2500 spams since first of year; better than 200/month using :
blacklist.0=2
blacklist.1="bl.spamcop.net"
blacklist.2="cn-kr.blackholes.us"

I have not had the experience of hanging stalls described above.

Luko has added much enhancement to Winfried's basic functionality, from
what I can garner in the Rexx. Thanks!
