My apologies, venerated SMTP masters. I will endeavor to properly format future inquiries.
In regard to the original query, have either of you encountered any problems (in setup or performance) with mail to pager ? ~Cris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of R.

Interestingly, I just stumbled across a situation where someone tried to unsubscribe from a mailing list but couldn't. The problem is almost identical to what is seen above. The E-mail was a simple line, "unsubscribe declude.virus". However, the E-mail was sent with text and HTML, and a word from the HTML section (either the title or the name of the graphical background, it is not clear which) appeared in the text version of the E-mail. So, "unsubscribe declude.virus" became "Somethingunsubscribe declude.virus", which IMail doesn't allow. Of course, I can't imagine why someone would need to take up 1,853 bytes (plus headers) to send an E-mail that could have been sent in 27 bytes. That's over 60 times the amount of storage space, just so that the imailsrv process can see a "cute" message. Just for kicks, I tried viewing the HTML version to see what it would look like -- and couldn't see any differences at first glance. I do believe that HTML has its place in E-mail -- but only if it is used consciously (IE sending HTML that is identical to the text version serves no useful purpose). -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
