Excellent ideas Warren!! Being the IT Systems Administrator, I administrate everything from the firewalls to the exchange/DNS servers. Everything seems to be okay there.
In doing another test, I was able to send out an email via my SMTP server to other domains, just not to me. It apparently did not use the "sendmail_from" setting since the email says root. I'll look at that issue later <grin> You are correct, that I am set to "not be a relay". However, there is no relaying involved, since it is coming from "within" my own domain. Also, the KDE environment works just fine with SMTP messaging, just not PHP. I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I'm fairly new to PHP. Maybe my settings? I just compiled PHP, Apache, and MySql just last week. Thanks for the response!!!
