I agree - the POP3 server is not running or is inaccessible. However, I need to make Sendmail use the NIC interface instead of the loopback interface - at least as far as SMTP goes. I think that would also be related to the POP3 issues. I'll run the netstat command once I get home. I'm not as tired right now, so maybe I'll find something simple I missed last night.
Thanks for the support again. Shawn -----Original Message----- From: Aaron J.
