If the installation that "leaves a copy on the server" (aux) is there merely to test new versions ... or is there to check on mail during the day, but is not your "main system", it would not be a problem to delete from the "main" system. The only problem that I see in this case is that you lose access to your replies made from the "aux" machine ... unless you CC or BCC yourself on all replies made from that machine. -- Best regards, MikeD mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.0.1.33 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
