I finally have webmin running. thanks for that! > You're probably running POSTFIX as your SMTP/POP3 server for your Mandrake installation. You're going to have to go through and check all of the default settings for postfix and then restart the service after you've done. On client machines, you should be able to just put in the IP address of this server, or the DNS name as it is on your network. That SHOULD be enough to kick it all and make it work. Otherwise, you're enslaved to sending OUTBOUND directly to the ISP - which is rather "unpretty" for all that you're trying to accomplish. The idea would be to use this linux box as your complete server - inbound and outbound - so that if you want to institute an antivirus solution for all networked clients, you could do so in one fell swoop instead of mucking around endlessly with the workstation clients.

It is simply an approach to the problem of telling what is counterfeit and what is genuine. And a recognition of how costly it may be to fail to do so. To be a skeptic is to cultivate "street smarts" in the battle for control of one's own mind, one's own money, one'w own allegiances. To be a skeptic, in short, is to refuse to be a victim. -- Robert S.
