Can I configure my system's sendmail to the above suggestion that you wrote? Or am I stuck to using Evolution/Thunderbird with an SMTP setting and not sendmail as my smtp server? You know what, I once tried following an article from the BSD Hack book that I have but because of my poor knowledge in sendmail I could no longer received emails then...So, I had to reinstall my system again...that was months ago...Maybe I should try that one again and post it in the ML if I encounter problems (I know I will)... Again, is my system clock wrong or yours? I thought I have mine as correct... Once again thank you for the response and hoping for responses from you in the future... Srot BULL
