Ahh, then see the calling syntax required for amverify. The docs were
quite obtuse at the time I was doing this, and may still be. You will
have to maintain in your script, the starting slot as a local var, and
pass that to the amverify pass invocation from your script. The lack
of that is why its returning a -1 slot I believe.
I'd post mine, but its both long, and to me, butt ugly due to the
methods I used to extract some of the local vars used, and now
somewhat double uglied because the tape stuff is still there but
commented since I'm using vtapes now. I don't think it would help the
confusion factor, but contact me off list if you'd like to see it.

People having trouble with vz bouncing email to me should add the word
'online' between the 'verizon', and the dot which bypasses vz's
stupid bounce rules. I do use spamassassin too. :-)
