Solunds like a win.. hopefully. Can you sent me the mailtable that I might use to have "kline@thought.org" goto zen.thought.org and zivic@thought.org be forwarded to ns1.thought.org, and grzegorz@thought.org be sent to ethos.thought.org? I see an example as the equivalent of 10K words. Is there ay way of testing this after I have set up my table entries? In other words, how do I re-initialize things without having to (ugh) *reboot*. thanks much, gary > > -- > -Chuck > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix
