This is FYI here. Sam has answered one question that has been nagging me for quite some time - why do I get cat /dev/random type characters at the end of my list mail?

This cannot be done by the server for a number of reasons, having to do with all the different possible mail encodings and formats. It's not as simple as just slapping a few lines of text at the end of the message. If the message contains attachments the extra stuff will simply be junk after the trailing MIME separator, which all mail clients will ignore completely. Even messages without attachments will have to deal with issues concerning MIME encoding, and character sets. Occasionally you'll see a message on this list with the standard sourceforge disclaimer replaced by binary shit. That's because the original message that came out of the sender's mail client was base64-encoded, receiving clients will decode the originally-encoded content, and the cleartext sourceforge disclaimer will be "decoded" alongside with it; naturally decoding into random crap. Now, ask your boss what he thinks of having his outgoing mail look like that. Footers belong in the mail client. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Etnus, makers of TotalView, The debugger for complex code.
