Thanks Gary; I checked with my ISP on that. I've been running that server for a couple of years now. And if they blocked 25, it would block it for every one, and they don't. I now suspect that I've induced an error into my postfix configuration files. It was all working this morning, then I was tweaking those files, and it broke. (I stepped away for a little while to calm down.. and it started looking much clearer). If I could get ahold of Mark Weaver, he has a copy of my files as of last night (when they were working). Mark, if you're out there, semd 'em back!!! Thanks! -- Ric Tibbetts ISOMEDIA.COM - Premium Internet Services. http://www.isomedia.com
