If so, which ones? If yes, does the email simply get dropped or does the sender and/or recipient receive some sort of notification? Any comments on how you worked with your user community on this would be helpful as well. -- Steve Brukbacher, CISSP University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Information Security Architect
