Ohhhh, I see.  I thought it might be something like that...  =]  Could anyone
give me a hint how to set up direct mail delivery?  I'm using dyndns, not sure
if that is where I should get the dns address from.  Or just use the dns
associated with my ip address?  Or I guess I could relay through an external
server.  I'd like to just use synchronet to send mail directly off my
webserver.  Anyways, thanks a bunch for pointing me in the right direction!!
