Right, but the simplest MTA's (nullmailer, ssmtp) don't support that as far as I know, and there doesn't seem to be anything in between these simplest MTA's and stuff like exim or postfix. The obvious reply to that would be 'there's a great opportunity for you to contribute something to the world', but unfortunately, my programming skills nowadays are limited to Matlab and some scripts for personal use. So, I guess I'll just have to install exim or postfix then. Koen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
