OK, now I'm confused. According to http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/postfix/2001-08/0252.html when it is disabled, the relay tester will think it it an open relay even though it isn't--of course I could be reading this wrong. When it is enabled, the relay checker would think it isn't open when it actually is??? -- Chris Scott Host Orlando, Inc. http://www.hostorlando.com/
