Whether I need to or not, I don't know - it might be ancient voodoo that I've never updated. I do know that I needed it when I wanted to use userid@domainname as my return address rather than [email protected] - as the machine name isn't exposed to the internet, but my domainname is. This has changed a bit over the years because providers have stopped allowing open relays (which is a good thing). Now I have had to enable masquerade and adding a ReplyTo: line to each of the components. I liked it better 20yrs ago when the internet was a much kinder gentler place :-) > > --Ken jerry -- // Jerry Heyman | "Three types of people spend other // Amigan Forever :-) | peoples money: Children, criminals, \\ // heymanj at acm dot org | and politicians.
