    Thanks Rob,

    I am using Merak mail server from Icewarp this is a
    masterpiece of a mail server. Extremely powerful and very
    detailed.

    Yes my companies website is on this server
    www.Tech1solutions.com I also host many domains with
    comprehensive mail services.
    This server is directly connected to the internet.
    We used to login via VPN at one time this is mainly what
    my experience is in external not internal.

    I am now very interested in the AD and you are correct I
    doidn't by enterprise for nothing :)

    You are a very intelligent person in this area thanks for
    taking the time to assist me.
    here is a complimentary site I built for the use of MVP's
    to help show in real time CDO and other difficult items.

    I also made it possible to upload anysize file to IIS via
    .ASP
