This implies to me that you intend for mail sent to AULTMAN.COM to be handled by MAIL.AULTMAN.COM. True? If that is the case, then you need an MX record in your DNS that points to it. If you don't have an MX record, then you have to have an A record for AULTMAN.COM that resolves to the mail server (not the greatest of ideas, IMO). If you logon to SMTP (fresh, not reconnect) and do not allow the server to start, you should be able to DIG or NSLOOKUP the MX or A records. If you can't do it from the SMTP id, then neither can the daemon. Alan Altmark z/VM Development IBM Endicott
