Rick,

No that's an interesting suggestion (getting DCA to stop supporting
hosts.txt table). I imagine a number of mailers would stop functioning
adequately (if one can say they function adequately even now, if
they depend on the hosts.txt table). Perhaps we should try to take
a poll to find out who would object to such a course of action?
