Which struck me funny, because cislab (my gateway > machine) is a Netware server. Asgard is my machine. Sounds like you have cislab set up as an MX host for asgard. In fact, I know you do, since I'm looking at the dig output for your domain presently. You need to speak with whoever maintains DNS for your site (looks like Bill Zoudamakis, zoom@cc.utah.edu) and ask them to make asgard it's own primary MX. > Outgoing mail works nicely, as does local mail.

That's only for transferring mail from a temporary maildrop file to a client mailreader. It's all sendmail and DNS in this case, I'm 'fraid. Cheers, Mick
