Then in the situation for remote POP users we need documentation on how to lessen the restrictions. Open it up for specific hosts, or entire domains. The current promiscuous configuration is asking for trouble at hosts that have full time net connections. Is POP3 able to run bi-directionally with clients such as Eudora? I've not seen that option in my Eudora documentation. Maybe its time to move on to IMAP? -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
