Thanks much Dan! I got it working with port 587 on my home system and I have a remote user who will try to set it up soon to use the same. My research found the FEATURE you reference in the bluequartz email list - but I haven't enabled it yet. Will do so right now just in case various ISPs would be affected (sounds like they may). Your instructions leave the FEATURE(`greet_pause',`700')dnl still commented out so will do that as written. It used to be necessary to do some kind of a "make" on the .mc file first? but not now? I don't really remember well but have it in notes somewhere. Looks like it is not necessary now so will give it a try as written. cheers, JD -- Jim Dory Engineering City of Nome PO Box 281 102 Division St. Nome, AK 99762 907.443.6604 http://www.nomealaska.org _______________________________________________ Blueonyx mailing list [email protected] http://www.blueonyx.it/mailman/listinfo/blueonyx
