Re: Perl Internet Proxy for Windows

non-perl related answer:
I know of at least one personal windows firewall (zonealarm) that allows you to let outlook use only ports 110 and 25 and not 80. This would make it impossible for the pics to be retrieved. /non-perl

Perl related:
If the proxying doesn't work for you, you could also cron a script that deletes the spam mails from the pop box every 5 minutes.

non-perl related response: I have thought about using zone alarm, but have had issues with it and our authentication system at the university. For some reason, zone alarm doesn't get along with our domain authentication very well, even if it is given full and unfettered access. What happens is that email only shows up if you expliciity refresh the panes of the application. Otherwise, nothing. somewhat perl related response: I have done some looking and maybe a netcat perl hybrid will do the trick. Still looking. Perl related response: That is definitely one route that I hadn't considered. Though Windows 98 doesn't have cron (or does it have something similar), I think I might be able to do that. I would still prefer something local. Thanks	[reply]
