Ahh, right, I see what Neil meant now. I didn't realise he was specifically talking about a local mail server that fetches email from a remote one as opposed to one that is the primary MX for the domain in question. If you can't wait a few minutes for your email to turn up, you need to get out more, I reckon :) James -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
