I have just realised that I obviously was a bit the worse for wear last night. Re: my question about other boxes on the local network relaying via the qmail host. Since the Linux box running qmail *receives* mail for the other boxes their addresses need to be in rcpthosts. In reality of course my situation is not quite like this but I *can* put their addresses in rcpthots without any ill effects and this will presumably allow them to send mail. It's another quirk of a SoHo dial-up LAN as my machines don't have 'real' addresses and I just invented a domain name for my convenience. To the outside world everyone on my network is [EMAIL PROTECTED] so I need isbd.demon.co.uk in rcpthosts. I also put server2.isbd.mynet in rcpthosts as that's my 'local' name for the qmail server machine. What I need to do is add the other machines' 'local' names to rcpthosts, which is not obvious at first glance. -- Chris Green ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Home: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.isbd.co.uk/
