I'm quite certain that my customers don't feel 'sabotaged' and I won't be seeking a job with him any time soon but the notion that he wouldn't hire me is beyond arrogance. I recognize that there are many different theories on running mail servers and those that are ISP's and handle e-mail for various customers are in a much different position than those that handle e-mail for a specific business. The problem with Tim is that he doesn't see anyone else's point of view...ever. He doesn't even bother with the notion of trying. I can assure you that for small-medium company, they are far better off with an aggressive, server based handling system so that each user doesn't have to deal with their own Junk mail filters - less phone calls for support because they can't find e-mails diverted to their Junk folder, slow computer response while retrieving e-mail and scanning content, etc. End user mail filtering is a complete waste of time, energy and computing power. That of course is not the Tim point of view. Craig
