I have the sendfile email function working to all AULTMAN.COM users. Now I have a relay problem, but I am working on it again. TECHVSE1.AULTMAN.COM unable to deliver following mail to recipient(s): <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> TECHVSE1.AULTMAN.COM received negative reply: 550 5.7.1 Unable to relay for [EMAIL PROTECTED] Ed Martin Aultman Health Foundation 330-588-4723 [EMAIL PROTECTED] ext. 40441 > -----Original Message----- > From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Alan Altmark > Sent: Friday, September 28, 2007 9:21 AM > To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU > Subject: Re: SMTP host Unknown > > On Tuesday, 09/25/2007 at 06:10 EDT, "Edward M.
