Setting postmaster : someuser? Again I have < 100 hrs with Unix/linux systems. I realize that running a mail server may be a bit out of my league and probably unadvisable but I do want to see if it is possible and then use it as a learning tool. So far this has been a great learning exercise on my end and I do apologize for the waste of bandwidth that I am sure some of you see this as. Thanks again for all the helpful advice, JP
