Yes. I noticed that it is tainted by the touch of Lotus Notes.. My opinnions re that product are not great, but with its email functions I know only about problems occurring with it. ( I _do_ have skewed world-view, postmaster collects errors! ) It may be great system for what it was/is originally built for, but connection with the Internet Email might not be it in the _general_ case. Not even now, years after those interfaces have been pioneered, and should have been debugged throughout. It might even be a pilot error at the admin chair. That thing does apparently still exhibit what I call "LAN EMAIL" mentality: If there occurs some problem, thing with it goes and scans visible headers for possible addresses, and blasts all those with its cry. The correct address is of course the SMTP-level transport MAIL FROM address, and in case of virus scanners, perhaps also the RCPT TO recipients. > - Robbie > > Robert V.
