*laugh* Actually - that's exactly why I asked.  I took a quick look at the 
bin file and didn't see the corolation between all the different values in 
there.   Then again, it was a very quick look.  And I agree - although a bit 
off topic, Merak's support has become farily non-existant in the recent 
past.  5 years ago when I switched to it, it was inexpensive and they 
provided fast, effective and useful support.  Now, it costs a fortune and 
takes 4 emails back and forth and all I get is a canned response, which more 
often than not is useless.  Actually, their lack of support is one of the 
reasons I switched to ASSP - I was looking for a good third party soln for 
antispam because Merak's antispam was so lacklustre.  So in a way, I ended 
up benefitting from their non-existant support.

My long term goal now is to completely migrate my servers to something other 
than Merak.  Now that I have found excellent 3rd party AntiSpam (ASSP 
obviously!) and AV (ClamAV), all I have to do is find a good, reliable, 
inexpensive backend to handle my mail.  Luckily, it shouldn't be too complex 
to switch - am not using any of their groupware stuff - just basic webmail, 
Pop, Imap & mailing lists.

Thanks again!

Eric
