It shouldn't cause problems. I choose not to use it so I can tell what's going on. If mail gets delayed, the warning messages from my ISP's smarthost just say "your message was delayed", with no explanation of why. If the mail is stuck in my own server's queue, I can find out why. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
