(have MySQL running on a different machine, or something?) Please forgive my lack of sophistication on this issue, I am learning. (I have also been looking at Dovecot) I have assembled some documentation on this but have not found a direct answer, thus the query here. system uses Postfix on FreeBSD 6.2 One FYI that may be of interest: I had my own dns servers listed in resolv.conf before the isp's dns servers and messages sent from this machine (FreeBSD w/Postfix) were failing to deliver to jekillen@prodigy.net due to dns lookup failures. So I changed the order in resolv.conf (listing isp dns servers first) and the messages were then delivered. I thought that if one server could not respond with enough info, the next server would be tried until one was successful (making order insignificant). Thank you for any info; Jeff k
