LOL! Teaching implies that the student will learn and put the learning into practice.
How can there be learnin' if their dead behind the shed? ;-) Ben Johansen - http://www.pcforge.com Authorized Witango Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/WitangoGoodies.htm Authorized MDaemon Mail Server Reseller http://www.pcforge.com/AltN.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Oddo Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 1:24 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [SAtalk] spammers aren't the only ones who can teach.

I admin a few small businesses and one user was complaining about getting between 100-130 SPAM messages a day. That prompted me to bring email services locally so *I* could control things.
