Still don't catch the meaning? You're saying that somehow i'm inept
to system security because my workstation is running on Windows? for no
other reason than I have to use exchange to communicate with the rest of my
workplace as a policy? I guess you certainly proved your point. I should
shutup because obviously (since I use a windows machine for my workstation)
I cannot possible have any idea what I talking about. I sure am glad you're
around to put me in my place there big fella.
Thanks again!
-Drew

I _thought_ something was amiss . . . anyone know of any UNIX-based MTAs
which call themselves "Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21)"?
How about Windows-based ones? :)
