Probably the easiest thing is just address it to the IP instead... for example: Mail server: mail.bar 10.0.0.1 Sending to: foo@bar Instead send to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] in your web form processor. Another note, too. If you are not going to be receiving e-mail on that machine (just sending from a web form) make sure you disable the sendmail daemon. Mail will still get sent without running the daemon... You may need a switch on the sendmail path though in your php.ini or equivalent file. james -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
