I'm just paranoid about using real maildrops that I used "5551212@fax.company.com" instead, so that bounces and problems would go back to our postmaster properly. I also provided hooks so the subject line could be used to generate company.com's standard FAX header sheet. They were averaging > 2000 pages/month through the thing shortly after it was announced. Unfortunately, that code vanished shortly after the company did. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh? A: Tell them your plans.
