I'm not quite aware what feature (or bug) you're actually referring to. Like I stated, I don't need to change any settings except the smtp-host .....which could also be avoided by using sendmail. Shorewall might be the culprit that's making things hard. Personally I don't use any firewall utility's for my laptop's on the road. It's a sure way of getting extremely frustrated and not much use anyway if you're inside LAN's (i.e. behind their firewall). IMHO the greatest risk for a laptop is getting stolen (physically) so I don't put critical data on it anyway. Good Luck, HarM
