I know it's going to put a _large_ load on the network and servers - but whether that's an issue or not for you depends on how many users and how much mail - how much are you talking about? 20 users? 1000? 5000? Either way I recognise that it's still far from being a perfect solution... -- Regards | _/\_/\ Andrew Johns BSc (Comp Sci) | / \ TurnAround Solutions Pty Ltd | \_...__/ http://www.turnaround.com.au/ | \/ "The box said 'Requires Windows 95, NT, or better,' so I installed FreeBSD."
