Please keep the Hostname or IP in square brackets, to avoid any DNS-lookup. 2) For high loads or long downtime You might configure a special Queue or requiets it with ETRN, this could improve the performance, if you expect lots of mail. This take a bit more work on the configuration. kind regards Dirk - Dirk Meyer, Im Grund 4, 34317 Habichtswald, Germany - Tel. +49-5606-6512 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
