Thanks for that Info w.r netstat, Ben, will try it. Will seek out "neat" as well.
With regards IMAP, I did consider it, but how do I set up my outlook express clients to receive there mail using IMAP ? Under my clients O/Express->Account settings->Connection->server types->incoming server: only "POP3" (PORT 110) option is availible Does IMAP also use port 110 ?? I am using SWAT to manage my samba installation, what a pleasure. On my RedHat 7.0 installation I had "Inflex" mail scanner/mimeripper installed, also a pleasure to work with.

Also, take a look at IMAP. You might like that better than POP. -Ben. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
