Thanks for the suggestion. I'll do some testing from here and from the LAN and get back to the list. Not really keen to make any changes to the version of SIMS currently running even with possible exploits. The mail server in Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 will be taking over from this old server soon. If I can't get this to work quickly may simply concentrate on moving to the new server.
