Clay notes: I find it funnny how we are all so quick to give our opinions on our personal preferences for things like this. I'm not saying that's bad, but you guys need to be a little more open-minded about these types of things. My take on Sendmail is not an opinion, it's a judgment based on experience and observation. Sendmail has efficiency problems, feature bloat, usability woes and a terrible security record. I can not, in good conscience, recommend it to anyone, let alone to a newbie. Just because you guys can't understand sendmail doesn't mean it shouldn't be used. Your implication is fallacious. If it were not, you would still be wrong. If the user can't understand it, the user should not use it. I can understand Sendmail. -- Chris www.innerfireworks.com How can you say this is not Eden?
