Hi Dan,
	Yes, it might be a quicker alternative, but we seriously have 
no cash to spend - my server setup is still way in the red, including 
the cost of iTools & the few hosting clients I have are barely 
holding the costs against the ISP fees we pay. the only way we pay 
for the server is because I do things like home theatre installation 
& other IT related things - Post.Office is definitely the easiest 
solution, but it's just not possible for us.
	I'd love to go for it, but it just ain't happening any time 
soon. Meantime, I do need to do something about spam.

	Bye for now, Terry Allen
