Are you using a different method than you used for the mail lists? Because my mail and news follows the same path, using the same host name. The only difference is that my ISP uses supernews.com news servers, so my postings appear to go direct from my domain to supernews - but the only place this shows up is in the Path: header. For the record - I (and my servers) are in Virginia, the domain name I use is registered to an address in Oklahoma, and everything is relayed through my ISP in Berkeley. Your map has me in San Francisco. Ok, you nearly got my ISPs hardware. > So, we'll have to go back and fix the script that is extracting the IP > address (which is written in Python, btw).

Well, if you post it, I'll look at it and figure it out from that. <mike -- Mike Meyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
