It's not something that a newbie would want to try, in my estimation. It took me a while to get it working, and I've been doing this for a while. I'll be glad to help you with it if you wish, but I don't have unlimited time. The access database actually doesn't take individual IPs. It takes domains. So, if you have a bunch of friends on the same ISP, you can just open it up for the whole domain of the ISP. IE; if they are all using blapwart.net, then you just put in blapwart.net RELAY and they can all relay. This stuff looks hard to you right now, but it's really not that bad once you get the idea. -Jim Durham To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
