You need to put a valid return address in the envelope sender, or else (among other things) you'll never get bounced mail back: mailers won't know how to return mail to you if there's a delivery problem. It's not hard, and it has nothing to do with dynamic IP addressing, or with whether your machine has a valid hostname. Do people send you email at all? What address do they use? Use that address as the envelope sender. Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.home | help
