Ah, now y'see I didn't think of that... And, come to think of it, neither
did the guy that's much better at this stuff than me (but he's pretty bogged
down with a load of stuff)

Basically it's his system and I'm trying to stay within the boundaries of
the way the system is constructed now... I'm really not very good with
server admin; I'm only just getting round to some decent Bash stuff (it's
been all ls and mv until now ;) )

Thanks for the suggestion, though, and I'll see if I can use it to get
things running smoother (and likely more stabler (Outlook doesn't seem to
consider that a word... hmm))
