Right now I feel rather like a dunce. I didn't configure sendmail... The below link helped though. Once I setup the smtp address, the test mail dropped in. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-configure-sendmail-as-outbound-submission -mta/ To my defense I must say, I've never dealt with sendmail before... This is a first. 8-} Anyway, seems like all (most visible things anyway) are in working order now. Thanks all for your help and suggestions, you've been stellar so far! -- /Sorin
