Yeh, that worked (and here I was scratching my head, tring to figure why this
first message in my mailbox was some "test message" from this "worley",
contemplating firing off an email abuse, but to who..., but about what...,
read...read...read. Oh. That's were it came from). Sounds like just what I
need. I can send it directly to my self. Now I just have to hack up a quick
script (after more than a bit experimenting I'm sure), insert a traceroute or
other path info, and then port a copy over to the Winblows side. Thanks.
