Fantastic! I've read it and done what it said, now just watching the
queues, I'll know in a few minutes.

Now how come that info hasn't made it into a KB article?

Hmmm, it didn't work, but I checked the same setting on the other server,
and it had some 'special access' permissions. I matched those on the first
server and now it's working.

Thanks very much for your input, and to the people that put the info on the
site.
