You're right of course, Eddy. A few years ago, when I actually thought I could turn a dollar competing with Critical Path on Enterprise Email, we used to just rent $100/month servers from cheap rental-server houses, and we'd configure them and manage them as mail servers; a complete discrete server for each client. Of course we didn't have to filter out as much spam and virii in those days. And we've grown a lot since then <smile>. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, nobaloney.net, P. O.
