Two assumptions: 1) Access to your QPopper is not restricted other than by the usual user authentication. 2) Your Sendmail is configured to block promiscuous relaying (most are these days). If both are true, then your users should be able to get their incoming mail via your QPopper both from work and from their ISP access at home. However they won't be able to send mail from home via your Sendmail because it will be blocked by the by Sendmail's anti-relaying rule. The simplest solution to the outgoing mail problem is to have your users configure their home mail programs to use your POP3 server as the incoming mail server, but to use the mail servers specified by their individual ISPs as their outgoing mail servers. -- Chip Old (Francis E.
