I belive so but I will ack IT people if there should be something
strange here.

The problem is that I have to have a vpn running just for this.
Sometimes it disconect and also have to switch it off soetimes.  The
reason why the mail is send in this case is that being on the university
network I don't have to give a password.

Maybe I will set low priority on this task for a while partly because I
haven't time for it and partly because the IT administration maybe come
up with some solution we all have to use.

Thanks again for the help.
