Well, I already had a backup MX (just in case my ISP turns evil or something), so it wasn't a big deal to take advantage of that feature. I wasn't so much worried about email not finding a server; I shut down port 25 because I didn't want email to find a *misconfigured* server as I was setting it up. Imagine having your mail server announce that your user doesn't exist here; fun stuff like that. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
