No, you're absolutly right. What I said may be a little irritating.

What I wanted to say was: If mail filtering is done in a seperate class (for 
client side filtering) and if there is (or are) another class with the same api 
(for server side filtering) it would be easy to choose one of them depending on 
the mailserver you have and the personal taste.

Sorry for the confusion,
Jan.
