The core problem is made clear here. SIMS believes that its domain name is "mydomain.com" but it should not. The domain name in the general settings should be something unique to that machine, and NOT any domain that gets used in e-mail addresses, since you do not want anything delivering locally. > It was also >suggested that I set up each user's account to discard mail and forward to >[user_account]@[real ASIP IP address].

If you have SMTP off in ASIP, how do you expect SIMS to forward mail to it? -- Bill Cole [EMAIL PROTECTED] ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
