Thanks Frank. I already had a free sub domain from no-ip.com. As soon as I chaged the hostname etc for that. it worked fine :-) There is something I don't understand though. How does my ISPs receiving mail server know that the domain I supplied is legit? Could I in theory add any domain that is online? Thanks very much for your help, Cheers, Jord
