Excellent help -- thank you.

I learn something from practically every post you submit
so I wish to thank you for other you have sent as well.

  (Sometimes I don't clutter the list with indivdidual
	'thank you's but I do appreciate it each time you
	post.)

spfd is now running fine as a server (which someone else here
was kind enough to suggest) but I intend to try this in order
to get "greylistd" to run as a service -- does this trick 
work for cygrunsrv services as well?

I am saving this encantation for such issues in the future.

Thank you once again.
