I have tried the following with no luck. telnet mail.yahoo.com smtp telnet smtp.mail.yahoo.com smtp telnet smtp.yahoo.com smtp Each just sits there and I get no response. I do get the names resolved so I know that these are correct names. What are you using for your smtp relay? In my mailbox, the only option I found is for POP pickup and forwarding to another address. I do POP pickup now. I don't have an FQDN so I couldn't have my mail forwarded directly to my box. When I do the same telnet using smtp.earthlink.net smtp, I get a response. It looks like for now I'm going to have to keep using smtp.earthlink.net. Ian -- Have blue screens given you the blues, go to www.freebsd.org for the cure.
