Thanks Hector! 

You may have seen my reply to a similar email on this subject.

All wcMail is working now....  I basically followed did the below... and
since technically, I am my own ISP as far as my domain goes... I had to
go figure out the MX record stuff on my own...  I'm a hardware Mainframe 
tech by trade... so much of this stuff was 2nd nature as I came across
it...  I like the idea of deleting the dat files... but since it is
working now, I think I'll just read them.

-> Ignore the UUCP stuff.  We use WCSMTP.EXE today.

-> Just setup your primary domain (one host domain) in MAIL SERVER and then
-> restart WCMAIL.EXE and WCSMTP.EXE.

-> Thats really all you need to do.

-> If you want to do the defaults, what you can do is stop WILDCAT and 
-> delete
-> the following files:

->    del config\wcgate.dat
->    del config\uucphost.dat

-> Then we you go back to WCCONFIG | MAIL SERVER, it will tell you if 
-> you want to start a new mail host, asking for your email domain name 
-> and automatically preparing the basic default.

-> It should work fine.

-> Note: This has nothing to do with the outside world accessing you. You
-> still need to have a MX record for your email domain name that allows 
-> the world to find your mail.     If you are BLOCKED for outgoing 
-> mail, then you should set the SMART HOST to point to your ISP 
-> (mail.bellsouth.net).   But incoming mail is basically how you got 
-> your email domain name setup in DNS with MX records which is 
-> something you have to work out with your domain ISP.
