Old habit maybe? Older versions of courier I use to run, I had to do that, because there was nothing called backscatter handling. Now, I guess its a moot point, but old habits die hard =) Plus it seems to be a bit less overhead by simply pitching an email, that dealing with it in a bounce situation, and determining if it should or should not be bounced in regards to settings of backscatter or not. *shrug* Maybe Sam knows for sure which is less overhead. He knows stuff. -Randall Shaw ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
