You have a custom script on port 79 (?) that takes what is in front of the @ symbol that then spawns off another script to start the queue processing for the relevant domains. So take 'customerdomain' and basically pass it to sendmail with the -q flag. Oh yeah, and I suspect it would be customerdomain@ispserver rather than the way you have it. -- Paul Robinson ,--------------------------------------- Technical Director @ Akita | A computer lets you make more mistakes PO Box 604, Manchester, M60 3PR | than any other invention with the T: +44 (0) 161 228 6388 (F:6389)| possible exceptions of handguns and | Tequila - Mitch Ratcliffe `----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
