I've had numerous requests for a copy of this script, so one final response to the list is in order. I wrote this script over two years ago and it's been running on it's own ever since. The code is a little crude as it was a down and dirty job. Since I've had a lot of people reply to this email asking for a copy, I posted it to the MDaemon Plugins site (http://www.mdaemonplugins.com). It should be the first article on the main page. I hope this helps you!
