As I found out through experimentation. Apparently, if the router says to relay it on to another server, SIMS does not consider this to be "relaying" in the normal sense. I was able to Turn "Relay for Clients Only" back on. I erred, though, in the router entry. I was using "domain.com = mail.domain.com". Apparently, by specifying a host name as the destination, SIMS does a lookup for MX records for that host and, guess what, routes the mail back to the smtp.domain.com host. What I ended up with is: domain.com - IP.address in the router. Anyway, it's working now. -- Internet Tools for Business -- <http://www.CyberSpaces.net/> E-commerce web hosting ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
