That's not a "small" script. It would have to handle the receiving part of the SMTP protocol when TB! sends the e-mail out. And when the script forwards the e-mail, it would have to handle the sending part of the SMTP protocol. Your suggestion sounds like all too much fun! :) Unfortunately, I'm not going to take the time to write a remailer. I looks like the answer is TB! can't do it without a feature enhancement or two. Bill McCarthy said in his post that he's requested pre-outbox filtering. That gets me part of the way there. I'd like to add an additional request for external programs: Requirement - Add the ability to specify how long TB! should wait for the external program to execute before sending the e-mail. [I know this is a timing hack, but it's simpler than trying to add prompt/response pair processing in conjunction with an external program. ] Where do I add this to the wish list? -- Dave Kennedy ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.62r | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
