:-) So I've heard. But I've been happily using procmail for years, so I've not seen a need to change. Maybe this is it, but procmail will quite happily filter stuff through Perl too.

Terrified may be overstating it a little, but you are right about privicy being an issue. That's part of the reason why I would like to do it right, including adding all addresses on outbound mail to the white list. At the moment, my children are all young enough that I want to know what mail they are getting. And my wife opens all my normal post anyway - well, anything that looks interesting, the junk she leaves for me - so that's not a major issue here either. -- Paul Johnson - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pjcj.net
