if you actually read what i wrote, you would see that i never mentioned having apache automatically report abuse. i meant that the admin of the web server could write emails to the abuse addresses of hosts that attempted to infect him. clearly, you would never want apache to automatically be sending email to anyone. that's just asking for abuse. -- Fred Smith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Divided Sky Internet
