I can send mail inside and outside the system, but noone can send mail to the system from the outside. I don't have a domain name (known to anyone other than the BSD box), just an IP address which is where I send the mail. I keep getting a host unknown error. If I'm sending mail directly to the IP address why am I getting that error?? Why can't I receive mail??? Thanks again, C-ya Scott
