I also have to use a dialup account, and the only changes i made to the default Postfix configuration were the following lines: relayhost = mail.netdoor.com home_mailbox = Maildir/ The first line is related to the dialup link, and the second is for Maildirs. With this setup, i am able to send mail to root without problems. Do you have an alias for root in /etc/aliases? -- Eric Gillespie, Jr. <*> epg@pobox.com "With sufficient thrust, pigs fly just fine.
