Thanks for your reply.

I found out from sendmail.org that

I found out from sendmail.org that  local-host-names in sendmail 8.10.2 is
sendmail.cw in sendmail 8.9.3 & trusted user in 8.10.2 is sendmail.ct in
8.9.3.

I have a problem, one of my customer in the raq3 server using outlook2000 in
windows98. They uses microsoft exchange for local mail. Now when they send
mail , SOMETIMES the mail is sent back with "transport provider not found"
error message. I found out that this is induced by pop-before-smtp feature
in my server.

I have put their IP address in the acces list. But some them are travelling
users, so I can't put the IP addresses of the ISP's they are dailling to.

Is their anyway allow only their domain name or even thier username to
bypass the pop-before-smtp feature?

Or will putting them in RAQ4 help?

And Thanks gsh for your reply.

Regards

Kajan
