Thanks for the pointer on the ASMTP in the archives. I had tried using host_accept_relay before but it doesn't work. I would get "mail server responded 5.7.1 Relaying denied" from mozilla. I like having it authenticate better anyway, then I could get from anywhere, without having to add IPs. Thanks. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
