Charles,
be sure to check /etc/mail/access file for relay access. Your own host name
should be listed in there. ie:
localhost.localdomain RELAY
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY
mydomain.com RELAY
This file may be in another directory depending on your distro.. I'm using
Redhat

Thank you for your reply. This sounds like what is happening. I changed
the smtp server setting in Netscape to 'my' server, and mail goes out.
We're waiting to make sure she can still recieve mail, and if so, I can
live with that. Thanks again.
