Ah ..

I *loathe* web based contraptions .. lol! But that would seem to defeat the purpose, too .. I have been, with some misgivings, flagging the spams I get through the account, in hopes that they might be trying to track, and have closed, the open relays that are probably the crux of the spam problem, but I may be shooting myself in the foot there.

It seems to me that *all* of them used to be more technically receptive, or at least more technically adept.

They have been pretty good for us, on the whole, but they are bending the budget a bit .. and it was annoying not to be able to get a static ip or smtp relay, considering the price. There are now a lot of dial-up services popping up which have little or no tech support, for a very reasonable price. I suppose it's too much to hope that cable will go that route, given time. Looks like DSL will, but we can't get DSL :-( Lynn TBv 2.04.7 Windowsv 5 -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] * * * Aun Aprendo I'd rather be WARP'ed * * * Team OS/2 http://www.turriff.net ________________________________________________ Current version is 2.10.03 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
