Yoiks... was that wierd! I just..and I mean *just* was finishing
upgrading my server to 4.1-STABLE and logged in to run mail and
Voila! there was your mail about this. 

Now, in spite of the fact that I don't have these enabled,
mine appears to be working. I jumped on this box and ran
Netscape to look at a page and it worked, so now I'm gonna
have to do some research!

Thanks for the tip
