Len,
I was the one with the ndisys problems before and thought it was a message
from another email server that I had (I had a huge mail box so I had no clue
which one). After deleting the mbx files everything worked ok. I then
received 2 new messages and when OL was retrieving them, the server dumped
as the second message was being dl'd. I checked my box through web mess and
the second message was from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tried to forward message and dump
again. Deleted the message and everything was fine. I would like to thank
you Len for indulging in my inexperienced questions. How about another one?
I will enact the changes that you suggested and I THINK I understand them
(I'm learning slowly but surely) except for the webmail A record. I
previously created a virt directory in IIS pointing to www.normlmn.org:8383
and that has worked fine, how is your suggestion different/correct? I need
to keep the addressing simple, webmail.normlmn.org could be confusing for my
users, or am I missing something :))) I think I will contact ipswitch
about the ndis.sys problem after I make the changes and see what happens:)
Len thank you again
Dan Dirksen
