If you suspect that your server isn't working properly, one option would be to telnet in to the smtp port of your server (preferably from outside your own network if possible) and issue SMTP commands for delivering mail. That way you can see from a sender's viewpoint how your server is behaving, and you can see if it's delivering the (test) mail properly. Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
