Not good. :) The name for your system in this case can be anything you like. You can get your current computer name by opening your system properties (in Win2k/XP right click 'My Computer' and hit properties||in Win98 right click Network Neighborhood, select properties and look under the 'identification' tab) and looking at the 'Computer Name' tab.

I keep S> getting the reply 'will not relay non-local mail'. In the MercuryS module, did you enable the option to accept mail from invalid local addresses? In the mercury core module configuration, you can tell Mercury which domains are to be considered local. You could add aol.com under the local domain tab. aol.com would be the internet name and the local host your computer name. S> I thought the mercury bypassed this and sent mail directly.

I just did a Whois on aol.com and got this: DNS-01.NS.AOL.COM 152.163.159.232 DNS-02.NS.AOL.COM 205.188.157.232 DNS-06.NS.AOL.COM 149.174.211.8 DNS-07.NS.AOL.COM 64.12.51.132 -- Allie C Martin \ TB! v1.62/Beta5 & WinXP Pro (SP1) List Moderator / PGP Key - http://pub-key.ac-martin.com ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
