are you behind a firewall? try to telnet to port 25 of mail.madduck.net - if you get a refusal, then you have a problem on your side and i think you might have a firewall that blocks outgoing 25 connects (which is not uncommon). the easy way out is to use your commpany's smtp relay server as the smtp forwarding host (relay) for exim. > On what basis could a mail server decide which hosts it is going to allow > to connect to it? ip addresses mostly... martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- there's an old proverb that says just about whatever you want it to.
