Okay, I think I'm in business.
I added localhost 127.0.0.1 along with our internal 192.168.0.0 addresses
and it appears to work as I wanted. I don't know for sure if we now
don't have an 'open relay'. Curiously, forwarding to altavista.net appears
not to work anymore, forwarded messages just stayed queued
Now why did I get a no,no from support ?
Still, happier now.
