The important point is "target must be the rDNS entry" See http://people.debian.org/~osamu/pub/getwiki/html/ch07.en.html#theconfigurationofexime (This is part of new Debian Reference for lenny. http://wiki.debian.org/DebianReference) > The line I put in passwd.client is, > "outgoing.verizon.net:my-user-name:my-password", which is my > understanding of the man page instructions.

You check the real host name with: $ host outgoing.verizon.net Then you know what to do. cheers, osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
