["Brenda Fuller" <bfuller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am reposting this.  I really need help if anyone has an idea.  I can not
get into this server from the browser at all and can't set up any new e-mail
accounts.  I believe it is simply an ownership problem but I do not know
what files to look at or change.

Desperately seeking any help!

Thanks
Brenda
