Thankx. I have read all these. And Iam not even dreaming of writing the codes for the Mail Server. Just its front end. The problem is a new team which is just seven-eight months old in Linux and while earlier everyone would give me cold looks when I announced new things liek CGI, perl or even VI editor. Now everyone is mroe than enthusiatic to bombard me with suggestions ranging from XML to Advanced Genetic Algorithms. It was an achievement in itself to keep them from thinking of writing the Mail Server all over again. But I think it helps in developmenet process if trhey develop the front end themselves unless the packages come with extensive and good documentation. Donno, maybe they could save some time and spend it on honing their skills in perl or C. Thankx anyway. Will ckeck all thsi out and get back to u. regards vicki
