If that is correct then you need to reset it to be the smtp server for your system, if you are using static IPs and have your own domain name. The other alternative is to use the clearnet smtp server as yours and disregard the mail transport issue (much simpler, especially if your system is using DHCP nameserving from Clearnet. In that case you simply set up all of your mail readers icedove, kmail, etc. to use for example "mail.clearmail.com.au" or what ever they tell you is their mailserver name. If this works use it, it's more reliable in most cases, they have massive back up :-) I have a similar set up with verizon smtp is set to incoming.verizon.net for receiving and set to outgoing.verizon.net for sending and I have exim 4 installed to manage local mail and also serve as my domainnames smtp server. I also run teapop for pop3 on my local server. Thus I have two mailing addresses [EMAIL PROTECTED] for the main mail to which I have kmail set up, and #####@ my.domain.name for local and very private mail. I hope this helps! -- Frosty
