what it doesn't tell you: I've seen this pop up 10 times since last night on the logs. It sends from the user ID as the person it's sending to. Say your username is joe.blow, domain is someone.com it sends as joe.blow@something.com and keeps it similiar to what your domain is(as so i've seen so far, all the same).; Posted by: Monkey_MCSE Posted on: 03/01/05 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
