XMail does a lookup of the reversed IP plus the MAPS server name. The only way to have it to return a positive response is the host name : 209.119.0.109.relays.osirusoft.com. to return a positive lookup. - Davide - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe xmail" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] For general help: send the line "help" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
