Hi Frankie, Couple of questions please... > make sure that > Cwlocalhost > #Dj > CP. > DS"your-isp's-smtpserver" > Question: Obviously I put my own ISP's smtp server there, which is mail.mhonline.net, but do I keep the quotes or drop them? You suggested letting Pine supply the "from" address, but when I do that it breaks the ability to send mail to other local users when the link is down. There is a brute force solution that I am seriously thinking about - namely, to switch pine configurations depending on whether I want to mail to a local user or to the outside world. I have to strip all references to my ISP from Pine for it to work on the local circuit, but I have to add them again if I want a properly formed return address on outgoing mail. There has got to be a better way! (famous last words) Chuck My web site is http://www.mhonline.net/~chuckh The Moon is Waxing Gibbous (71% of Full)
