However, there are anti-virus products about that will send the virus back to the sender (what on earth for I ask?). We don't set ours to do this and I'm pleased to see that our AV package didn't send any auto-response other than to internal administrators (including myself). We already get grief from our users because Out of Office messages don't go the Internet! Mind you, if a mischievious sysadmin in the UK has done this deliberately as a result of my "suggestion", I'd like to chase him/her under the Computer Misuse Act. - John Airey Internet Systems Support Officer, ITCSD, Royal National Institute for the Blind, Bakewell Road, Peterborough PE2 6XU, Tel.: +44 (0) 1733 375299 Fax: +44 (0) 1733 370848 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be legally privileged.
