Hello Alan,
Sorry I have not had time to work on this.
I have the sendfile email function working to all AULTMAN.COM users.
Now I have a relay problem, but I am working on it again.
TECHVSE1.AULTMAN.COM unable to deliver following mail to recipient(s):
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
TECHVSE1.AULTMAN.COM received negative reply:
550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
