  This applies to external programs being called as ACTION in a filter 
or as a script to run for every message received. 

  My CK_Blacklist.cmd is to be used as a TAG in filtering, the 
PROGRAM.<..\UTIL\CK_Blacklist.cmd> tag. You see it under the 
_conditions,_ not the _actions._ 

  Such an external program actually does get two parameters, the first 
being the file name of the message to be worked on, the second the name 
of a file where to store the results. 

  When you used BL_Install.cmd, as instructed by the README.TXT, you 
would see a line like this: 
   PROGRAM.<..\UTIL\ck_blacklist.cmd> = "Confirmed" 

   as the filter condition (trigger) which my installer installed. 

   The "Confirmed" is searched in the file which the external program 
created with the results, using the file name given as the second 
parameter. 

   So it is quite clear that the script will err when there is no second 
parameter given. 

   The error with the accountINIstring 

>    161 +++     accountName = LEFT(accountINIstring, POS(D2C(0),
accountINIstring
) - 1);

   is certainly due to the fact that you did not run the script from the 
position in the directory structure it is meant to (a directory at the 
same level as the TOOLS and PMMAIL directories). Thanks for digging that 
problem out; I should make a change to the script so that it either 
refuses to run under this condition or does not try to get the the 
account information for writing into the LOG file. 

    I hope, that helps. 

Yours,
