Thanks, Jens.  Glad you're around on a Sunday <smile>.  Did you see my
other question (about using the secure server admin facility with
netscape?

Yeah, and the latest upgrades to it might just do the same thing

And where in the upgrades was the documentation that THAT would be
necessary <wry grin>???

I don't see how it could be.  But I'll check if I go this route.  I
think the biggest problem is that if you put in all your local addresses
into the popip.db file, you've pretty much disabled it anyway, since
relaying from outside domains has been disabled by default for some time
now.

I better go check out the sendmail.org site; it's been a while <sigh>.
