I did have a problem with inet_interface as was reported in the log: Nov 14 22:29:54 dot postfix/smtp[3705]: fatal: config variable inet_interfaces: host not found: dot.thompco.com I changed main.cf from: #inet_interfaces = localhost to: inet_interfaces = 127.0.0.1 and am not getting any errors in /var/log/mail/errors or warnings in /var/log/mail/warnings anymore > > > Those with an asterix work, the others used to work.

This is the part I need to know about as this is the part that does not work! Please elaborate on the Linux server applications that talk to the Windows and local (running on the mandrake machine) email clients.
