I have got it. It works now. The problem actually lies with the passwd
chat line. This applies to Mandrake Distro.
[global]
..
preferred master = yes
logon script = netlogon.bat
passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n
*Retype*new*UNIX*password* %n
*passwd:all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
security = user
...
Just wanted to share with you ppl.
Cheers
Elliot

Hiya Elliot,
I'm sorry, but I dun think you attached it at all. Which email client
are you using?? Outlook or Outlook Express?? Either way, I think it's
better if you try another method of attaching a file.
Ciao
