Hello there,

I write since SouthAmerica and would like if somebody help me with a 
question. Just yesterday some joker sent me a lot of MB to my e-mail and 
the pine was so slow and took a lot of time to open the INBOX....After of 
this, it was down. In the third trying i had success and got deleted the 
messages from this stupid joker. But i don't like "jokes" like this.

My question is : HOW COULD I AVOID TO GET BIG MESSAGES IN THE PINE?
Does there is a way to configurate the system so only get the messages 
with the size what i want?

And HOW could i configurate the Pine to avoid some e-mails from some people?
Does there is a way?

I really would love to hear advices!

Thanks.

Ana Paola.

Via your mail transport agent. Ask your local help desk.

A mail filtering system. Check the pine docs and your local help desk.

Cheers,
Robin
