I believe that if you put the domains in the relay-domains file everything would work fine one domain per line like, bellsouth.net innova.net carol.net ... then everybody who has an address like xxx.bellsouth.net or yyy.innova.net or zzz.carol.net will have access. so if you do not put their IP address you can have some kind of wildcard. for host names at those domain names. I hope the IP addresses you mention are resolved to host names. are they? Evren "Charles A. Peters" wrote: > > I have a small email server that hosts about 200 email accounts.
