I just want my outgoing mail to go to the mail gateway and let forward it on. However, when I send a note to another location, the domain name server (it is connected to the internet) gives me back the ip address and my smtp sender then makes connection (or tries) to the recipient directly, which causes some problems. Is there a way I can configure my station to NOT do this ? I know if I drop the name server it works the way I want it to, but I hate to do that. Thanks in advance. 73 de Bill, kd5lu. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- kd5lu.ampr.org 44.28.0.119 (145.670) 44.28.1.39 (441.475) Internet Mail abernat@metronet.com Work Phone (214) 622-5445 Home Phone (214) 242-1241 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of TCP-Group Digest V94 #250 ******************************
