Right. But you'd still be able cross-check his supposed logs against the contents of your own /var/log/maillog (or whatever). At least prove that a message was or wasn't sent... and know what the message size was... On the other hand, you he could forge the message contents and that would be harder to disprove. -Philip _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
