I don't know if it's possible for you to set your server up this way, but @ work
my server isn't a mailserver, just a webserver. We set Sendmail to only point
"in" and it can only send through the local mailserver on our network. In fact,
the sendmail port is closed and can't be scanned/seen from "outside". Now when
I write a simple email script, it verifies all the fields, doesn't accept any
other fields and sends to the person who's email address is inbedded in the
script.

So far so good,
Carol
