Try using the IP address and your possibly using smtp-auth as well so you'll need to turn on the option in thunderbird for outgoing server requires authentication. Dont know if im close or not as you havnt provided and logs or error details. If that doesnt work try showing us some logs etc as that will probably give a big clue as to where the problem is. Another thought would be that your dns is timing out trying to resolve your internal IP address. You could add these options assuming your internal range is 192.168.0.x 192.168.0.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="",NODNSCHECK="",RBLSMTPD="",QMAILQUEUE="/var/qmail/bin/qmail-queue" cheers Shane
