I would strongly reccommned the 'bat' book by O'Rielly. There is also a 'sendmail cookbook' by O'Rielly that I have found very useful. Best advice I can give is "Don't Give up, and don't stop reading!" If you have specific questions I'd be happy to help with what I have learned. Contact me off list if you would like me to help. Good Luck!!!! Greg
