OTOH, then you have another service running, which makes you that much more open to being cracked. It's not a bad thing in and of itself, but it does demand that you keep up to date with security announcements for that package. At least when you're using POP and sending a plain-text password, it's a password for your ISP's system, not yours. :) -- David Steinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED]
