RE: SMTP server/slightly off topic

["Art Tostaine, Jr." <Art@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had no other problems.  I TELNET out, FTP, etc.  I have all of my customers 
put into my AS/400
host file because I don't use a DNS, and most of my customers AS/400's are not 
registered domains
anyway.

Art:
I like your suggestion, I will try it.  We are only sending from the AS400,
mostly spool files.  Will changing the domain and host name mess up anything
else?
