Compared to my last ISP, Fishnet, it appears the Fastnet just forwards my mail from an account that I have on their server. With Fishnet, everything was on a cobalt raq server that I administered remotely, mail, ftp and website. Everything was adminstered using alexion.com. With Fastnet, everything is administered as something.netreach.net, and alexion.com is just some forwarded thing. > Do you use fetchmail to pull the email from your ISP's email > server?

Also, I never bothered configuring sendmail, instead using the stmp server of whatever ISP I am currently connecting with. -- _______________________________ Art Alexion Arthur S.
