only internal processes ( i.e. those residing on the 172.16.*.*
network ) should be sending mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

but for whatever reason they always end up in the relay-denied
directory.  Which is a little frustrating as I think I shoud have
everything setup correctly to do this.

I'm going to take your suggestion ( it's a cleaner solution than what
I've done anyway ), and hopefully it resolves my problem.

Thanks for you help on this.

cheers,
jason.
