This approach has some advantages over "plain old" POP3. (And some disadvantages, yes.) In theory it would be trivial to whip up a CGI script which acts as a mail agent (depending on how many features you add to the beast). So easy, in fact, that before I seriously start hitting the Perl, I thought I would ask whether anyone knows of such a thing already in existence... I've done a few searches, but so far they've proved to be fruitless. -- V ____ Johann |[Email: jvisagie@insight.co.za] [Tel: +27 83 777 4260]| \ \/ Visagie |[WWW: http://www.insight.co.za/~jvisagie/] [IRC: Mr_V]| Mr\/
