I need OUR clients to be able to send email and it's getting blocked. I didn't realize that Netscape talks directly to the sendmail port, I just assumed it used the POP server. Is there any way I can work around this? I'm tired of abusive email from people who've been spammed and seeing hundreds of messages queued up on our servers, but have to let our clients send email. Can NS be configured to send email through the pop server? Very tiredly yours, Cliff
