I'm afraid I don't know about mh and smtp since I installed mh and sendmail, so sendmail handles all the outgoing mail. Of course that meant I had to figure out how to configure sendmail (shudder). Sendmail seems a very powerful tool, but there's no excuse for a config file like that. I recommend both the sendmail (bat cover) and mh (octopus cover) books from O'Reily (sp?) if you are interested. Perhaps someone else knows about the SMTP problem? -- Rob
