Emailer and bad to and from addresses can be a problem. I'll try to be the first to tell you (before Ken and a half dozen others jump on this) that you should take a look at replacing Emailer with the excellent, free SIMS. http://www.stalker.com/ . Then, do a search of the list archive for SIMS and you should be able to get set up with ease. Since I switched from Emailer to SIMS I've never run into the email blackouts that used to occur when emailer didn't like a particular address.Mike ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
