Re ordered to comply with top-posting police :)

Sorry, Tony, I hadn't understood the issue.
My raq4's return the expected response of admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm a little too green to be of more help than that and RTFM type replies 
irritate me too. This groups could lighten-up a bit and try getting back to 
being helpful - I have appreciated many helpful posts on this list but the 
chaff is getting a little overwhelming.

Cheers,
