so have I and it always has.

My whining was because CentOS brought out their 5.3 update which
included a perl update which we agree causes some issues. So I remove
the offending rpm's, update everything, re-install and am functional and
then a day later, another perl update came out and the gymnastics had to
be repeated.

They say that if you want respect for the end result, you never watch
how either laws or sausages are made. MailScanner might eventually make
the list  ;-)

Thanks Jules
