Most of the anti-relaying is actually in the config file. So just upgrade your config file. :-) --------- Received: from localhost (chuckr@localhost) by picnic.mat.net (8.9.3/8.8.5) with ESMTP id PAA60703 for <FreeBSD-isp@freebsd.org>; Sat, 26 Jun 1999 15:32:11 -0400 (EDT) -------- John -- John Hay -- John.Hay@mikom.csir.co.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
