Perhaps I should have said, 'sending E-mail tends to be resource intensive' I'm not blaming Sendmail for anything, it's a great piece of software, though I understand even the author of it needs to rely on third party referances as to how it works, because of how complicated the program is. > please blame AOL for harboring spammers and others And, MSN, Hotmail, etc, etc, Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
