Once again, I thank you for all your help. Your info on the quirk with
getting POP B4 SMTP working properly was invaluable, it is finally
working and seems to have resolved the relaying denied issue
WOOOO-HOOOO!! You have also given me important insights to sendmail -
very much appreciated. Thanx to all who took the time to reply and help
me out, I am gratefull.

I have one more quick question - is there an easy way for me to send an
email to every user on my server? It will save me alot of phone calls
telling everyone about the change they have to make to their email
client to accomodate POP B4 SMTP.
