Bingo. They sent me another message with an offer that could be what I asked for. It was vague. I replied and lookie here: ----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors ----- "|/usr/local/sbin/cerberus /usr/local/etc/config.xml FATAL /var/log/cerberus.log" I guess that means they're working on the system. I'll try to send again. - Grant -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
