Hi Martin! Thanks for the tip... The server in question is only "sending" email - the daily/weekly Charlie Root reports and a sign-up form for our tiny ISP. IP Filter on another box will block any incoming mail. The reason is simple, sendmail auto loads with fBSD! I do plan to use qmail for our email server, but I need to find a good web-based "hot-mail" type attachment as most of our customers are I-cafe based and can't reconfig their machines for pop3 service all the time. "Good" in this case means it works and it is free! Any Suggestions? aLan Tait -- I switched from When?Doze NT - I never knew "When?" is was going to "Doze!"
