You *could* set up you outgoing messages to automatically have the "reply-to:" field set toyour ISP email address, and configure sendmail (or whatever) to use a "smart upstream host", i.e., the isp mailserver. A better bet is to configure your mail client to use the isp mailserver(s). rick -- Prof. Richard E.
