But it isn't obvious how to use it this way. one word: SSH. Ssh? I'm too loud? I bet this means something. I haven't worked with non-mainframe servers ever. It took me a while to figure out how to use Ultra-Edit to edit my user_prefs file. Seriously those, really those documents are oriented at it being installed on a server, but they're also oriented around you logging into the server for maintenance. I infer that this means I can make this a virtual drive. I'll play around with this at home and try to do it. Currently two of my home computers can be seen just fine, but my main one is invisible and I am trying to trace that down. But if I can do this, I should be able to use the other software fine? Some people have hacked together some tools so that they can do some maintanance remotely without logging in, but there's no comprehensive remote administration tool out there. There's a webmin plugin out there, so if you like using webmin, this can help you do some things.. personally I despise webmin so I've never used it and can't vouch for how well it works. http://sourceforge.net/projects/sawebmin/ I'm a mainframe guy, I am completely ignorant of these things. It doesn't sound as though you recommend me learning this tool. Some people have set up automated scripts attached to various email accounts on their server to make certain tasks semi-automatic.. However, most of these are little home-brew tools to handle one or two things specific to their setup. Also if your spamassassin config is completely broken, you may not be able to send/receive mail at all and these kinds of tools won't do anything for you. Which means I shouldn't be modifying that file from work where I can't test it. How about giving my server's SpamAssassin feedback from within Outlook? Can I do something to tell it that "this message is spam", so that it can learn from it? It appears that user side SpamAssassin can do this, but I haven't seen how to talk to it from home. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
