Even though my gateway machines don't have the address books of the internal machines. I don't get very many bounce backs. As most mail get's rejected as spam, before it bounces back though. I tried to get read the ldap address book entries from my internal exchange server (5.5) but I could never get it to work. I couldn't justify the effort as I'm don't really see it as a big deal at this point. I'm sure i should, but I can't justify the effort for the return. -- Luke Computer Science System Administrator Security Administrator,College of Engineering Montana State University-Bozeman,Montana _______________________________________________ Visit http://www.mimedefang.org and http://www.canit.ca MIMEDefang mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.roaringpenguin.com/mailman/listinfo/mimedefang
