And I'm not quite sure waht you mean with the MX record. I don't WANT
comcast to store my mail. NOt to mention that this is getting backwards.
We are startiung to deal with inbound mail. The issue that sparked this
was on OUTBOUND mail.

To put it as my wife did: "That's an extra tank of gas". I don't think
it's that much and if I REALLY wanted to I could probably talk her into
it. The point is I *DON'T* want to.

Like I said. I offered to setup a free cvs system. He turned me down
flat. He wants to be able to simply grab the source code off the network
~ whenever he wants it and access it directly on the network, without
having to transfer it. That, unfortunately, kills the CVS idea.

Don't I wish! I'd love to get away from him. But I have no degee and
anyone who is going to pay these days wants a degree. I've been TRYING
to find other employment for over two years now. No luck.

Me too. Ditto above.....

No I don't. Not unless I "hi-hjack" his account. And I don't want to do
that because then he could get in trouble and then I'm in trouble.

Cool. Where do you work? (I.e. State/City?)
