Hello Michael, Thanks for the response... but I have restarted qmail... otherwise I wouldn't know that it 'breaks'! :-) & I have to revert back to the original settings, & do another qmailctrl restart .. to get it operational again!
Anyone else out there familiar w/ moving tcp.smtp so I can do roaming users? Thanks! -Fred. ------------------------------------------ Frederick H.
