Okay, here's how I finally figured out the mail server address ... I looked up the
machine's IP# and it returned something like
c123456-a.whatever.yourstate.home.com . Your mail server is then
"mail.whatever.yourstate.home.com" . Hopefully, this rule applies
elsewhere.
Thanks again to all that helped.
