That's a fairly low %.  BTW, how much was it costing you anyway?

I'm not sure whether that is actually legal, to kill messages
in-transit like that.  I don't have a program that does that.
Yes, a program could be designed along those lines.  All you 
need to do is find someone willing to write one.  BFN.  Paul.
