All of this is concerning my home setup, not business, so....<br>
<br>
My wife is constantly getting into a bind with her home email
account. She's one of those types that subscribes to
everything and gets tons of crappy email as a result. Her DSL
server mailbox is so full now, that she can't download what's
up there from the server. I'd like to do something like the
following, so if anyone sees a problem with my plans or knows
of a better way, please speak up.<br>
<br>
I'd like to build a Centos server and put MS and Mailwatch on
it. Probably put some type of webmail on there also. Then use
fetchmail as a cron job to download her DSL email to the
Centos server, let MS clean up the junk, let her monitor the
email on the Centos server with webmail and MW and flush the
rest of the junk, and then point her mail client to retrieve
the email from the Centos box byway of POP to her home
machine. All this would be on my home network. Hopefully,
it'll fall into some manageable order.<br>
<br>
Does that sound reasonable?<br>

<div>Just an idea, cant she create a gmail account and check all
her email by imap/pop3 in the old account and store at the
gmail account ? there is plenty of space in gmail to store all
the spam she gets. </div>

I'm not sure what you're suggesting as far as the gmail account and
storage. To prevent any change to her email address, I'd like to
keep her on the DSL account. So I'm really unclear on how she'd move
the emails from the DSL to gmail. She could, at the moment, check
and clean the pending DSL emails by their webmail facility. But the
sheer volume of crap she gets (and most of it she thinks is normal)
is overwhelming. <br>
<br>
I'll think about this though.<br>
<br>
Thanks all<br>
