Service unavailable: No such file " I refuse to talk to myself" usually happens when you try to use the "ether" mailer to deliver local mail instead of "local". If you didn't get this error, the mail would keep being forwarded to itself. Make sure, in ruleset 0, that mail to the local machine is recognized as local. Typically this means removing the domain name from the incoming address. -- Bruce G. Barnett barnett@crd.ge.com uunet!crdgw1!barnett
