I think what Peter is try to say is that Sort monster is hosted at Appriver and Appriver had an issue and therefore so did Sort monster.

We use Sniffer, but not Appriver. You said that if we don't use Appriver, we shouldn't have been affected, but you also seemed to say that if one of the recipient's of my user's email uses Appriver that might've caused a problem. And also that *some* of Sniffer users might have experienced the problem as well. It sounds like things are still being worked out. I just wanted some kind of verification that they were aware of the problem, were working on it, that they were in some way sorry about what happened...you know - the usual stuff. And I know that you are not an official rep of Appriver or anything, but presently you're all we have in that role ;) Thanks Kevin Pete McNeil wrote: > Hello Kevin, > > Friday, May 18, 2007, 8:52:47 PM, you wrote: > > >> Pete - Thanks for the reply, but I guess I don't understand what >> you're saying.
