Lynn, Please forgive my lack of experience but I don't quite follow all the terms. I have the proper Maildir set up for the admin account (lrpqmail) and it receives the mail sent to it from the internet as proven by my ability to see the message in the ~Maildir/new directory. I believe I may have some additional issues with the user accounts since the user accounts do not receive mail sent to them as yet. I am thinking it is because they have home directories that are located on the ide drive and may need to have some other config option set to let qmail know about them. My intention is to host my own email server for a few local users to avoid the hassles I have had with transfer limits on my other pop3 accounts. I am not sure I understand what the relay comments mean in my situation. /etc/tcp.smtp looks like this: 127.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" 192.168.:allow,RELAYCLIENT="" I assume that I need to do something else to change the behavior of qmail to provide pop access? You suggest that relay makes sense in my configuration. I am open to suggestions. What should I relay to. We use Mozilla and PocoMail clients on our windows machines for mail. There is no MS Exchange server available. I would like to keep the bering DMZ machine as the mail server as it is one box that will be on all the time. The DMZ server does not have telnet and I am unsure how to "telnet in a pop/smtp session to the mail server and see where the process bombs out manually". I do have ssh configured for access to the DMZ host. I will try to provide any test results that would be helpful in further resolving this setup.
