That's great thanks, how can I test it though? As stopping the service manually I would guess is not picked up as a failure, right?

Also, I assume that writing this out on notepad and saving as a .vbs file is adequate, yes?

yes thats right just save as .vbs

a bit tricky to test I agree. You can obviously test the script on it's own.

what smartshost did you enter in the script. For example - I use a ISP called plusnet so my smarthost is relay.plus.net but rememebr this must be the smarthost of the line you are going out off.
