I'm sure you've already covered this Charles but just in case you haven't I'll mention it anyway. No matter what you do here with this outsourced service, I'd suggest you document all Postfix config changes you're making, or save a copy of your main/master.cf files as they were before embarking down this path, should you later decide to ditch this service. You don't want these custom setting biting you in the backside if/when you switch back to direct-to-MX, or possibly to another outsourced service. -- Stan
