I'm guessing not also, with a 99% certainty. Don't know if I've written to you before or not (on mail servers) but I'm working (slowly) on getting one set up and feel that I'm getting pretty close. Some of the information is still in my head, but some is on WikiLearn -- suggest you try looking at these pages: * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/TestSketch * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/EmailPostfixTrials There are other pages on WikiLearn that you can find by searching for email or postfix in the topic name of a page on: * http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/WebSearch The final piece of the puzzle for me (I hope) was how to set up a pop (and imap) server under xinetd (sp?). There was a post on newbie or expert within the last three weeks that seems to give very good clues -- I've saved it somewhere and can send it to you if you think it will help. Suggestion: Look at the first two pates I mentioned above, and then give me some feedback about whether we're on similar wave lengths or not. Maybe I can help. regards, Randy Kramer
