Thanks, Kumar, I will be trying this. I will, of course, let the group know how I do. In my zeal to find something simpler for what I wanted to do, I managed to mess up my system to the point where I will format my disks and re-install sarge again. Then I will stick to exim, as it is the default for confirmed debian guys like myself. When I get my system reinstalled I will pull down this thread and try all the tips given me and let the group know how I did. If it does not work out, you might see a few more questions for help, but I will be sticking to the default of exim. I am determined now to learn this package, there must be a way to make it work! I want to thank linux.debian.user for all the help, twenty replies makes this a great group to be a member of! --- Scotty -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
