Of course *I* realize it. Much of this is being driven by the desire to be able to be able to show the auditors the vendor paperwork that says that all it does is email and it is configured to only do a limited amount of that, Add to that the usual sorts of ongoing security updates, being able to point at the vendor paperwork on updates also makes it easier. -- Matt It's not what I know that counts.
