There is probably some performance hit related to what else is on the wire but not enough to matter. It will end up having to put the card in promiscuous mode and matching up the addresses in software. A switch port will have sorted it out for you anyway. What's going to happen to outbound mail being received on some address as a relay that happens to be addressed to a domain that you've MX'd and expect to receive on a different address? Or is this a 'receive-only' box? -- Les Mikesell [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ NOTE: If there is a disclaimer or other legal boilerplate in the above message, it is NULL AND VOID.
