Not Zed -- Thanks for the info.
I managed to make the SSL problem go away by removing everything from my /etc/hosts file as suggested in one of the posts on this list. However, now when I send messages, the message ID field is as follows: Message-Id: <1083807608.2430.0.camel@(null)> Where does this value of (null) come from and I guess how can I change it? Some of my mail gets returned to me by the mail servers of the recepients with error message (reason: 553 5.0.0 Message-Id header line format error) Thanks guys!
