Hello Barry, Is a valid MX record a MUST for this project? My test box is inside a 2Mbps symmetric connection from anywhere (USofA, etc) but it does not have a valid MX record. Will that do? If it must have, then I will need to register a domain name and talk to the ISP to do the mappings. However, if this test is non-intrusive to Exim, then I can use one of the production servers I use. PS: My hope is that we'll be using Exim as the MTA:) -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ I can't hear you -- I'm using the scrambler.
