That way > messages could be sent without the above errors? Or what? You should allow the system to send out it's mail. And it should go somewhere meaningful (i.e., to you). And you should read it. All my systems send me mail every day, and I scan through it to make sure everything is okay. That's what those messages are for. :) So, yes. You should disabled incoming, but allow submit, etc. You can also firewall off incoming instead or in addition. -- Darrin Chandler | Phoenix BSD Users Group dwchandler@stilyagin.com | http://bsd.phoenix.az.us/ http://www.stilyagin.com/ |
