Thanks so much. The Trend Micro program is just what I'm looking for
and I agree that it does a very good job of finding only the spam mail.

It did find one false positive and I've used it on approximately 100
emails so far. Yes, it misses some spam, but very few, and that's no
big deal.

I really like not having to teach and configure something beyond just
telling it to let certain senders through.
