John,

I think that I mentioned that I am only doing this on secondaries at the
moment. In any event, I am just relating my own experiences, not suggesting
that anyone else follow my course of action. I don't have any users
complaining, and I certainly don't want to miss any legit mail myself. Our
customers know our policies, and seem to agree with them. If they don't have
a problem with it, I sure don't.
