The nice thing about version 5 is that it's all modular.  So adding something like this SHOULDN'T be at all hard to do, at least, in theory.  (One never knows until they get in and actually do it. ;) Given the nature of the request I don't see any for seeable complications with this.  This certainly would be helpful to automated scripts and would also help keep things in-line with the over all RFC1459 requirement of not autoresponding to a notice. Which is a, Good Thing(tm). (Having said all this I might have Andy bludgeon me with a bad Perl script or something, but we'll see :) Kelmar K.

If this were put into every set of services that would be nice because then people wouldn't have to make an individual script for every set of services. -Gr ----------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail ircservices-request@ircservices.za.net with the word UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject of the mail. http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices </tt>
