Chas and David, Thank you. You're right, the " -d" does work as expected. I don't know how I missed the logged entries when I removed it, but I did. I _did_ say I was a moron. This proves I wasn't wrong about that. I added some comment text at the top of the script to remind me that " -d" turns on debug level logging and that the syslogd setting is ignored. FWIW, I have been using this script for a week now and It Just Works. I did remark out the dialup test because I felt it to be a waste of time; dialup attempts will be denied by RBL. -- gypsy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://learn.perl.org/
