Are you sure this last one is absolutely required Sam ? I've got nothing but "localhost" in my locals file, and it obviously has no MX record pointing to it, yet the near 300 vhosts on our server seem to work Ok. Would this be because the IPs (mostly the same one) all resolve to the same server (ie; no seperate MX host involved) ? --markc ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
