Thanks for the reply Chris !

I am a "newbie" to the Linux world so I stumble around a bit. I did manage to
Telnet into the Qube OK (well once I opened that up <BG>) and get to /etc/mail
but the only files I have under there are:

access
access.db
sendmail.ct
sendmail.hf

I DO see some aliases file under /etc  Are they not supposed to be there ? I
have:

aliases
aliases.db
aliases.majordomo
aliases.majordomo.db
aliases.majordomo.master
aliases.master

Thank,

Chuck
