This keeps Active Monitor from grumbling about IMAP being turned off. -- Gerald Waugh http://www.frontstreetnetworks.com Front Street Networks LLC - 203-785-0699 229 Front Street, Ste. #C, New Haven CT, 06513-3203 _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security _______________________________________________ cobalt-security mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://list.cobalt.com/mailman/listinfo/cobalt-security
