If you are *only* receiving mail and news, you do not need to open any ports. In these cases, all you need to do is configure your mail and news reader programs to know the fqdn for your mail and news servers. As you know, the aliases `mail' and `news' are inadequate . . . However, if you are trying to run a mail or news server from behind your firewall, then the port issues are relevant. -- Best Regards, mds mds resource 888.250.3987 Dare to fix things before they break . . .
