One thing you can try is to add a line to /etc/mail/access 192.168.31 RELAY This would let the mail server act as a limited relay server (only for 192.168.31) -- Best regards, Alfatrion mailto:alfatrion@cybertron.tmfweb.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
