Understood, and very good effort by you to educate them. Mostly all the reviews slam the cost benefit of SA with the "Pay an employee to support it." line of crap. With RDJ and URIBL setup, there isn't much to have to mess with at all. Once setup, it just works. I'm also stuck in the MS culture. You simply need to tell them, "Look, it cost snothing but my time. Let me install it, and try it. You don't have much to lose. It can't hurt to try it before spending money." Filter one bosses email, but not another. See which one votes for SA ;) If I can admin my SA box, in the incredible short amount of time I have, then even a drunken monkey with A.D.D. could do it. --Chris (Freakin last episode of "LOST" told us nothing!!!!)
