Or the PMS could issue an ETRN (Look for etrn.pl, in sendmail/contrib, I think it is) and ask the SMS to start sending to foo.dom. 3: It will just look in the DNS. for the lowest MX working. It won't be sending to itself or any higher numbered MX. > Sorry i'm missing the connection here =\ If you are missing the connection too often, perhaps you need a backup server :-> Leif To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
