you are absolutley right in what you say
although this was a bit harsh (btw, XP Home edition dual-booting with linux running a web server? LOL)!! what is wrong with having xp home?!!
no i am not in it dept
the 'wireshark incedent' occured when there was a change over of it heads and policy's

i have already, as you suggested removed all inflamitory software
if i re word what i want to do might give a better understanding

lets say my work email address is [email protected]
but i also have another email addres [email protected]

what i wanted to do was collect emails to [email protected] on my home pc and forward them to my work emial address
that should not be classed as too 'dodgy'
i do not have outlook which i think would do this?
just wanted to know if it is possible and if there is any suitable software

any way
thanks for biting
hope this clarifies the situation
