Hi Frank,

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm actually trying to use direct delivery with the
sbbs mail server.  I have inputed the DNS of my internet connection to the mail
server configuration and have put my ip address into a file called relay.can

direct delivery doesn't require a remote mail server to relay through, which is
why I prefer that option.  im getting illegal relay using the direct deliver
method.

Any ideas?  :)
