No? What CAN they use?

OK. But Len. You didn't tell me how to transfer my users to the IMail
database. :) Which means I'll probably have to do them one at a time.
And what do you mean about browser versions? It sends fine from my
hksi templates. Did you mean mail clients? Or am I missing something?
LOL

Pick pick pick. LOL
I meant protection against relaying SPAM. ;) Heck, I don't have time
to try and filter out the spam coming to my clients. It's enough work
just keeping up with the viruses. I'm just trying to avoid getting my
mail server blackballed.
