That's good to hear.
Why the f*** anyone uses gmail is beyond me.
Well for me: back when I started using it seriously (15+y ago) it was by far the best at filtering spam, as indeed logically it ought to be since it has a far larger pool to train its algorithms on. Combined with the fact I could run an entire domain for work on it up to 50 users without paying a penny it was hard to resist. (Prior to that I had run my own servers, using dspam for spam management which was a great bit of software but it never took off the way Spamassassin did and it stopped being maintained.) Frankly I didn't want the hassle of supporting something for work, for myself, or for anyone else. If Gmail goes down, everyone just accepts that Gmail is down and doesn't blame me! -- Mark Rogers // More Solutions Ltd (Peterborough Office) // 0344 251 1450 Registered in England (0456 0902) 21 Drakes Mews, Milton Keynes, MK8 0ER
