John, Bingo! That single change Works like a charm. In .pinerc I set visible_name=cs.wcu.edu, which actually generates an address of a real account, as I have an a login there. The combination creates a name that resolves, and campus.mci takes it. Is it significant to the success of this that the login generated by my longin name here and the domain at wcu is a legitimate account? Many thanks also to Daniel Gross and James Thomas who replied to this question. --David > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Do with it what you will. > Dancing Horse Hill Make money from it if you can; I don't mind. > Elmwood, Wisconsin Do not send email advertisements to this address. > -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
