Actually that will have set it up to accept mail from the internet, but only allow sending mail from localhost. If you really don't want the box to receive any mail then you want one of the smarthost options iirc, that way your box sends mail but it expects all replies to go somewhere else (note that you really should have a legitimate reply address) Anton -- Anton Piatek email: [email protected] blog/photos: http://www.strangeparty.com pgp: [74B1FA37] (http://www.strangeparty.com/anton.asc) fingerprint: 7401 96D3 E037 2F8F 5965 A358 4046 71FD 74B1 FA37 No trees were destroyed in the sending of this message, however, a significant number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced. -- [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
