But I do not see why it would not work for a relay host on the local network. I have static ip addresses on DSL service. I will have to refresh my memory on what is a smart host. This relay host would also relay the response to an email verification message back to the originating host. And I am guessing that would be a virtual domain alias in the relay host. I am learning as I go along. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated Jeff K
