I'll try that. eximconfig put that there. | you need to put the whole thing in quotes, as well, i.e.: | | route_list = "* mail.rit.edu byname" eximconfig had it in quotes, but the example in the spec.txt.gz file didn't, so I tried it that way too. Thanks for the response! I'll see if it helps when I get back to that machine. -D
