Justin has put forth a very good idea. I tried the same in bartender
parlance on 3/18. There are forums for such debates. I do have a problem
that I need some feedback on though. I have sendmail issues on a BSD Unix
machine. Can't seem to keep a lid various spam issues. Can the
sendmail/spamblock major domo in this group give me some tips and tricks
and/our point me to some resources?

thanks
