Yeah - tell me about it. Why not get a Gmail account for doing mailing

Fair enough, they're the folks with the money. Our job to make sure
they understand what they're spending it on.

Yes, I can see that would be a problem. Might be some work-around.

Yeah - sounds a lot, but only when you're watching a SIP debug. What

discount it simply on that factor.
