Apart from that it appears you work for a company with lots of expertise in telecommunications: http://signal-networks.com/about_us.htm Apart from that there are *numerous* tutorials out there. That should be sufficient for your needs. Kai -- Kai Sch?tzl, Berlin, Germany Get your web at Conactive Internet Services: http://www.conactive.com

Make sure that the valid domain name maps back to the IP address of your server. Make sure that the PTR record for your IP address matches your valid domain name. Otherwise you'll find that people will defer and/or reject your emails. If you cannot get your config set up like this, then you will probably want to relay your email via your upstream ISP's smarthost. --Chris
