I already set my postmaster command lines the way I want 'em, and I don't want the code overriding that.

At least for me.) regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
