:scratch: I still don't get it ... :blush:
"ehlo" is an SMTP command (SMTP is the transport protocol for e-mail)--it's the first "command" sent to the server that's receiving the message, indicating the start of the session. (It used to be HELO ("hello"), but when SMTP was "extended" to deal with more complex messages, they added the EHLO command, for "Extended HeLlO.")

It's a nerd joke; needless to say, I LOL'd, too.

I'm not even smart enough to be a nerd ... :nolike: :(

As I get older and less firm in the mental memory parts.. I started keeping a page for passwords. I soon learned that my wife couldn't adequately decipher my scribbles, so I started keeping a Word Doc of them, (especially when I got to the third page..) Having been in the I/T world for many years, I know better than to keep that stuff on the computer, so I have a thumb drive that it gets saved on when I make changes to it. I then clear the system memory and reboot. So far its worked.. There is an online service that will encrypt and manage your passwords, but I am unwilling to trust services like that.. Blitzfike
