Actually I have had that problem, but not this time. All my domains
resolve; my real domain, mpls.uswest.net, my virtual domain,
holiness.dhis.org, and all 4 cnames that run off this box.
This problem is that my letters are being blocked because of my sending
ID;
dialupE183.mpls.uswest.net
It's the dialup part that's causing the trouble.
