<DIV>Kevin, </DIV>
<DIV>To be honest all I have ever used is mailscanner, I am not famaliar with
configuring sendmail on it's own. I have been at this all night with no
luck. I have restarted MS many times with minimal success. I have
tried changing my routing table to route to a different internal server to
verify it's not a problem with the host I normally connect with and have the
same problems. This is very frustrating, I've got about 2000 message
still stuck in the queue, they are getting delivered but at a very slow
rate. Users don't like to see email from customers that are 2 days
late. If you have any more suggestions, I'd appreciate
it.<BR><BR><B><I>"Spicer, Kevin" <Kevin.Spicer@BMRB.CO.UK></I></B>
