That's where I'm still in the dark. I'm not sure how to set up my own DNS and MX here (I need to configure Bind, no?), and I'm not sure if Zonedit (what I use for my domain name on a dynamic IP) will maintain an MX record for me. I'll have to check on that. Anyhow, when someone does a reverse lookup on my IP, won't it *always* show Sympatico and not my DNS/MX record? Or does mine override Sympatico's? -- JoeHill RLU #282046 / www.orderinchaos.org 17:12:14 up 15 days, 3:35, 7 users, load average: 0.40, 0.25, 0.16 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ "Behind every great fortune is a crime." -- Balzac
