I'd be glad to do so, but when i send email to you i get
<Stephen.Clark@seclark.us>:
64.202.166.12 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 553 Dynamic pool 84.21.226.46. <http://unblock.secureserver.net/?ip=84.21.226.*>;
Giving up on 64.202.166.12.

I have visited the link and  made a request to unblock our smtp server but it hasn;t been done
yet.
So, i send it to stable list with attachments :)
