Go to the spool directory and do this (substituting the e-mail address of the sender of the offending post): for i in `ls` do echo $i jobview $i | grep "offending e-mail address" done | more This will let you find the offending post and move the spool file somewhere else. If you are a non-Unix machine, there is probably some way to find the post similarly. -- DCP -- Douglas Palmer | SystemsManager, USDC-EDNY | rm -rf /bin/laden 225 Cadman Plaza East | Internet: [log in to unmask] Brooklyn, New York 11201 | CCNA,CCNP
