Hi, This could well be a mail routing problem, in which case, I'm no expert. But when you say that no one can telnet or ftp into the machine it may be because you have no machines specified in your /etc/hosts.allow file. Check the /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny files for what you are allowing/denying for connectivity. HTH, --terry Name: Terry D.
