The desire to move to a small cabin in the woods and never hear the words 'e-mail' or 'Microsoft' ever again sounds perfect right about now--so I guess I am grumpy. ;) > Is e-mail no longer a cooperative system? >> > > It is.

They don't want to pay us to manage their mail server until it has problems. * Microsoft makes it extremely difficult to get delisted once there are problems (like a virus that blasts out spam) * They like having a mail server that costs them $0/year for the last 8 years, so they don't want to pay $200/mo to switch to Exchange online. I guess one of those things is going to have to 'give'. I'd like it to be "Microsoft making it extremely difficult to get delisted once a virus has been cleaned up", but that's a pipe dream. *sigh* Thanks for the input Jay. -A
