Email comes from the Internet to a FreeBSD box which then sends it on to the "MS Fail" box. Outbound mail comes from "MS Fail" to FreeBSD and then to teh Internet. "MS Fail" fails just as often as before, but at least they have connectivity andnd spool the mail until some one reboot s the "MS Fail" box. jmb -- Jonathan M.
