Steve, Thanks. That fixed it. I appreciate the instructions.
I do have a new problem you might be able to help me with. I seem to have a routing problem. Here's the situation. I'm attempting to test MailScanner using spam and antivirus. So I installed another Linux machine and have all of that working. So I want to redirect my incoming mail to this new server first, then forward it to my existing mail server after it's gone through the filters. My original mail server is 192.168.1.2 and the new one is 192.168.1.6. My MX record in DNS points to my external IP address. Mail from the outside is forwarded though a Linksys router to 192.168.1.6. On 192.168.1.6 I used webmin to configure it to deliver SMTP mail for the domain to 192.168.1.2 and ignore the MX record. I tried both SMTP and SMTP Relay settings. When a message comes in from the outside it gets to 192.168.1.6 but then fails saying there's a mail loop, possibly a problem with the MX record. Root ends up getting the error message in its mailbox. Any suggestions?
