RE: Sendmail
Thanks Martin,
I'll check that out. I have been able to verify that sendmail is working for
outgoing stuff by getting a form mailer working. It's just not replying by
sending to my account @ the ip address. I believe that
sendmail is configured to use my domain name but cant yet because my DNS
changes haven't occured yet from my old site to my new site.

generally all system services are started thru /etc/init.d/... scripts,
which
are linked to appropriate runlevel directories /etc/rc?.d/..., the default
boot runlevel can be found in /etc/inittab on the line containing
initdefault,
... to see whether the service is running at the machine you can use
netstat -ltu (listen, tcp, udp)
more in nag, lag, etc. they're packaged...
