Hi Tony,
I just woke up and received your reply. I'll be doing as you say.
I'm also to change the first line as follows...
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ERROR:"550 - I don't accept mail from spammers"
localhost RELAY
127.0.0.1 RELAY
because I read that that is supposed to work and I like it a little more
than just a general error message, which is what I guess would be sent
with the REJECT.
Thanks A Million Tony!
