I have installed mta and am currently running it. How to interpret the data correctly is the next step. I'm looking into bind. After this I might look into djbdns. I'm digesting. Thanks again. And this wasn't even my question originally! : ) Alex P.S. Matthew: I appreciate your concern about going off on ISPs. My statements were casual in that post. I would approach them carefully if I were to have good reason to suspect something on their end. I would rather offer them something concrete that might help them. Sometimes they're willing to accept customer input of a sort. So, yes. I appreciate your concern and your point is taken. Thank you. -- A L E X A N D E R S E N D Z I M I R Battleface Computing Custom Computing - Linux & Free BSD - C, Perl, Python, WWW info@battleface.com | 802 863 5502 | Colchester, VT 05446 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
