Yeah, I am aware what "dnl" does. The reason I commented that stuff
out is because I have no use for any of it - all those files (access,
local-host-names, mailertable, virtusertable, etc) are all empty by
default and I had no reason to add anything to them. I'll try going
back to the default config and putting the RELAY line in the access
file.
Thanks once again for the help. I really do appreciate the time.
