So anyways Thanks again to all who helped out on > this one, I am running dovecot/sendmail and am happy all is well ;). ---- my comment was to Jeff - I didn't help you at all but would have. You got help from some of the best people on this list...Jeff V, Mike C, etc. The interesting thing is that even though some of us think we know a lot, we are always learning too - I think Jeff will attend to this. I know that I learn a lot by reading through the emails on this list. ;-) Craig
