Does anybody out there know of and use a free software package that will go out and determine live IP addresses and host names and record them in a database?

While it hasn't yet reached a 1.0 release, it does seem to handle fairly well. It has great junk filtering, easy to configure filters, and a lot of other very handy features in a great interface. Mail is stored in standard mbox format, so very large mailboxes don't always respond terribly quickly to searches. I have run into some issues with upgrading, but nothing too difficult to deal with. As long as you store a backup copy of your profile, upgrades shouldn't be much of an issue. I've been recommending Thunderbird to quite a few people, (and Firefox too for that matter) and haven't hear any really major complaints yet. -Russell Peter J Murray wrote: > This is a continuation of yesterday's question, but I'm getting > frustrated with Outlook and it's little glitches, and people want spam > filtering.
