Yeah, unfortunatly I don't think it is possible.. The systems have 2 users on them (root & radar) and root gets some email (e= g=20 daily checks) and radar gets about zero (unless there is a problem with a=20 cron job). We redirect both of these to us back at base. The radar user sends some email (status reports from the radar for example)= so=20 if the network connection dies for a few days the outgoing emails start=20 bouncing back to radar@ which then attempt to get sent to the outside worl= d. So we don't have any problems when the network is operating properly but=20 unfortunatly it can be rather variable in some places :) =2D-=20 Daniel O'Connor software and network engineer for Genesis Software - http://www.gsoft.com.au "The nice thing about standards is that there are so many of them to choose from." -- Andrew Tanenbaum GPG Fingerprint - 5596 B766 97C0 0E94 4347 295E E593 DC20 7B3F CE8C --nextPart6893713.iFscOMiCry Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBCJRZB5ZPcIHs/zowRAmcoAJ4wE2VcI09opnN/9t8QvbzNHqM7vACfR45e RCyEMA/9GCaqCe0aS/RcCLs= =n79y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --nextPart6893713.iFscOMiCry--
