Maybe I'm being stoopid or something. Supposing I have a list server, which I wish to deliver directly to the subscribers, rather than making use of a presumably bigger, better connected, or faster smarthost. Then I want to do precisely what I've done: that is, leave disable_dns_lookups = no the default? Or have I got something backward? -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Dan Wilder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Technical Manager & Editor SSC, Inc. P.O.
