Well, to be fair there are plenty of folks on this list for whom e-mail administration (and even IT work in General) is not their full time job. It would (and does) scare me if someone who gets paid to administer an e-mail server exclusively hasn't read them. But even for the part time administrator, there's real value in reading the RFCs and playing around with sending an e-mail via telnet to your boss which appears to come from Bill Clinton. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
