Now all we need to do is attach a core file and get cron to email it to them every 15 mins. The problem with news groups is their very nature. Any idiot can post any old rubbish. But here's a little tip I pick up from news.software.readers if you are having trouble with un-solicited email: set your 'From:' and 'Reply-To:' fields to something like: marks@|nospam|west.co.za The inteligent user can see to remove the obvious, but auto-mailers won't. You could even set up a filter to remove the nospam as well. Most recruiters I think would not have a clue. And don't accuse me of giving away secrets, because I don't believe half of them read this news group. -- Mark. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Mark D.
