Joe - We're using Charon 4.0 and Pegasus v2.3 in our network for email to and from our Novell-based users, and the trick is this: Charon expects to be handling email for MULTIPLE servers (even if you only have one server), so it expects to see addresses of the form "user@servername" in the SMTP dialog. So in your case, the mailer should resolv deliveries to site "wtad" by connecting with "cms" and using "user@wtad" as the recipient address. Note also that charon does NOT accept bang-format or mixed-mode addressing. For more information, check the Charon SMTP debug window on the console of cms. ...walt... -- Walt Weber Oki Advanced Products Division walt@oki.com Marlborough, MA 508-624-7000 x8637
