I did it and it works for everything except pop3, but I've had problems with popper acting flaky in the past so it's possible that wierdness is completely unrelated. Any ideas on why this would pop up all of a sudden after years of not being an issue? Anyway, thanks to everyone that replied, you help is much appreciated. Didn't realise this list was so popular! scott. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Oliver, Michael W."
