What would be really cool is if I could add: mx:mx1.pacifier.net smtp:[smtp.nwlink.com] and have it redirect all mail that would have gone to mx1.pacifier.net to smtp.nwlink.com :-) -philip On Wed, 29 Jan 2003, Philip Hallstrom wrote: > Hi all - > Two weeks ago nwlink.com upgraded it's mail servers.
