The first one that was worked out was overkill, and had to be removed. The second one is looking for a much smaller list of characters, and seems to be OK. I still want to develop it further, but have not had the time. I have been learning how to use a network bootstrap to get a machine up and running. These little http://www.soekris.com/ are pretty neat. In looking into them, I found some others that might be useful as micro mail filters. For example, http://openbrick.org/ The "micro server" line of machines are not as cost effective as say using an old PC, but sometimes that it not the goal. This form factor is good for those other times. If you were walking into a small business, and their "server rack" was a shelf in the supplies closet, you are very limited. I have seen networks where a foot or two wide on a shelf, where the next one up was 14" away, is all you had to work in. With that limit, saving space is a big deal. And how many of us really sit in front of our IMGates with a monitor and keyboard? I usually use SSH to get in. So those limits are not a big deal. Well, now that I have drifted completely off the subject of subjects, I think I'll just click send. --Eric
