I have a user using MS Exchange for which we store their mail. Somewhere in the Exchange configuration you can have it issue a command upon a successful connection. Have them do a "rsh your_box.com /usr/sbin/sendmail -qRtheir_domain.com" You have to set them up with a static IP, and set up a mailertable to route mail for their domain to their static IP. Basically, the mail will then come in, and stay in your mail queue until it is delivered. Jimhome | help
