PS.  I've tried all lower case in my email address as well including resetting my email client to that just incase it was case sensitive. No difference in result.

i added the address manually.

Thanks,...

The Newsgroup interface now works through the news interface.  Interestingly, if I send an email to the newsgroup... it is still rejected.

But at least one of the two ways works.

Miles,

The reason for the javascript is that the hosting ISP does not support PHP.

Each time a new session is started, the javascript would have to:
- check for cookie
-if it doesn't exist
	-poll database for next new custome ID#
	-set new cookie id
	-update database with page info
	-download java applet (does something else)

I guess I wasn't sure if a non PHP supported domain could access the PHP
database from a remot	server or not and how one would do that.  I am setting
things up in PHP but fairly new at it.

Why would you want to use Javascript? Just have some code at the top of
each page which
-checks for the cookie
-if it doesn't exist
    -identify customer, login page or however you choose
    -set cookie
    -update database
-if it does exist
    -update the database with some information pertinent to that page

Or are these straight HTML pages, thus the need for Javascript to do
something? I don't konw a lot of Javascript, but you could have it pop open
a PHP page in a child browser window, back in the Z-order so that it would
be behind your "main" page (only for Internet Explorer), and use it to do
the above steps.

For every page transition you would have to pass the appropriate parameters
to the child window and force it to refresh. You will have some trouble
with people who have Javascript and cookies turned off.

As I said, I don't know Javascript, so this is just off the top of my head.
A straight PHP solution would be preferable and I assume it's not possible
either because the ISP doesn't host it or for some political reason.
