thanks Bill, so if thats how it goes, it seams the mechanics of the setup are some what right, because when i check the email from a dial-up connection, i see the ip on the open-smtp file, but yet, it will not let me relay? as soon as i log in from the dial up my opent-smtp file shows that ip with the ":allow,RELAYCLIENT="",RBLSMTPD=""" but again i still cant send any email...
