I believe that Richard Sexton, also dropped from >the list, is his own ISP. MHSC.NET is also an ISP and we've been having no problems. But, I might note that I had to loosen up the sendmail config, a while back, in order to get things to work. I can only recieve this list on the corporate mail hub (MHSC.COM). Our production hub (MHSC.NET) would not be able to send or receive the list, from interactive, becasue of their setup. DNS problems make sense; when sendmail receives mail for x.net and the lookup says y.net, or something equally obtuse, sendmail goes into a real snit. So do most other mail packages. The errors are unpredictable. Andy forgot to sacrifice the three chickens and spit to the east. ___________________________________________________ Roeland M.J.
