Thanks Steve! ----------------- Been noticing some strange return messages sent to the postmaster from my server to strange adresses... Any chance I've opened up a relay whole here? I'm trying to understand what how that could possibly be. Any ideas? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
