Thanks Joe, 

I have serveral variants of the script,  but JIC I quick tested the script with the appropriate changes.  no luck.  

I need to dig a little deeper into our mail server.   We are using Novell Groupwise and had a network god who liked to tweak settings for fun.  (even to the point that admin only has restricted rights) fortunatly he's no longer with us, but his memory lives on ... 

I need to do some more research on the novell side and lower level settings.
