I'm not sure how much effort you can make to save what is now a couple of dollars worth of disk space, but you might consider setting up an SME server (http://www.contribs.org) which would give you an ftp/http server and webmail (as well as pop/imap) server all with the same simple web-form user/group management tool. And internally you'd have windows file shares corresponding to the ftp/http areas set up by the same management tool. -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED]
