You could be right to think that i don't understand my issue as best as it should be, and that is the very same reason i am trying to be as much explicit and detailed as possible, so that i can get assisted.
Don't you agree with me it will be more appropriate to ask me questions about the whole issue to see if there is a better way you can assist me in this? i am confident that way i can clear out ur doubts regarding my understanding on this subject, and in the process <hopefully> will come to a solution. many thanks Ed --- "Ed Crowley [MVP]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > An open relay shouldn't get you spammed any more > than usual.
