They have 3 reasonable choices: 1) Use your recommended method, and be able to send mail. 2) Stick with Norton, and be unable to send mail. 3) Replace Norton with something that isn't dangerous crap. They should do option 3 even if they chose option 1 above. Norton anything on any platform has always been dangerous crap. If you maintain their systems, you should replace Norton in self-defense. Using /anything/ else will save you work. ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/>
