Thanks for the help; I'm just still a little curious about this one part, because we are using -u. In this case, the root process hands off the connection to a non-root child pretty much right away, right? In other words, since we're using -u, there's no code running as root that's going to look at the mail being processed, is there? Thanks again, --Brett
