I tried to sell them on an inhouse mailserver using IMAP, but they are 'concerned' about security and reliability. These are the same people, of course, that when I first walked into the place had the main fileserver's admin pass set to 'PASSWORD'. This one client could keep me busy for years. -- JoeHill Registered Linux user #282046 Homepage: www.orderinchaos.org +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Gauging the number of Iraqi civilian casualties since the war began is difficult because the U.S.-led occupation force does not count them..." -- Letta Tayler, Newsday, March 7th 2004
