Actually I am between a rock and hard place -- email server on one side and SpamD on the other. Apparently the SpamD 'protocol' requires passing the size to SpamD. I don't want to start re-writing code all over either program -- I just want to talk the source email system into telling spamd whatever it needs to know to be happy. Currently, I am accumulating bytes, and will use that, but I am missing something and not getting the write count (YET.) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
