Thanks, works like a charm when using gmail :) Unfortunately I was trying to get it working with a different e-mail address, one I have with my ISP, yet this didn't work out. When using that one I got frozen message in the exim queues and a message in the exim log saying my ISP's smtp rejected the message as unroutable. But I settled for the gmail solution instead, so I'm satisfied. Thank you very much. Kind regards, Steven
