Thanks for the pointers to Exim. I do know Perl, somewhat. I'll look at Net::SMTP as my needs are minimal. I'm not the sysadmin on this particular box (I support a vendor application), so installing software is a bit difficult. I need to request it from the sysadmin and then it needs to be approved by corporate security (believe it or not). -- Q: What do theoretical physicists drink beer from? A: Ein Stein. Maranatha!
