I have to repost because of mistakes in my previous posting.

I have a problem with networking my NeXT with the rest of the world, 
and hope you can help me.
 
I set the NeXT as a NetInfo server and mail server. The users on the NeXT 
can send out e-mail through Internet, but not receive mail. The super user 
"root", however, can send AND receive mail.  The NeXT networks fine when
telnet command is issued.  The problem is only with e-mail.

If I did not set the NeXT as a NetInfo server, or set to non-NetInfo with
NetInfoManager, e-mail will simply not work, but telnet always works.

What's the problem?

Thank you very much for your time and help.
