Don't do this with topics. The topics may be OK for other reasons, but for archiving there is a better way (using topics to control archiving will require code modification or a custom handler). Have your machine generated messages include an X-No-Archive: header and they won't be archived. Headers that will work to not archive messages are X-No-Archive: Yes X-No-Archive: any value X-Archive: No They are not case sensitive. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
