If I understand your question properly, I don't understand why you would expect an address @delliver to work. Eudora is an email client; you would need to be running an SMTP (email) server, such as exim or *shudder* exchange, in order to receive mail on a machine. I *think* what you actually want to do is to set up your debian system so that it provides a POP3 email service (looks like this may already be the case), then configure Eudora to check the debian server for mail via POP3. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
