I am running Red Hat Linux 9 with XD2. I am the only linux user in my office so it's not possible to look at anyone else's config or see if it failing. I know that I can send mail manually through port 25 of the same server and that other Outlook users are getting their mail just fine. I will, however, create another user on my system and attempt to sendmail with Evolution using that account. -- Todd Hammer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ evolution maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/evolution
