Based on the naivete of your question coming from someone who claims the
title of "sys admin", I have to express extreme condolences to your
employer. Or is this the normal state of affairs in the Microsoft "sys

Are you sure you're not a 12-year-old wannabe something? Such a question
ottabe avoided. (Okay, I admit the last part is an experimental joke around
"ought to be".)

Depends on the mail server program that you administer.
