MK>> It's possible that this has been answered already and I missed it.   
    MK>> The only outbound that works with my irex and fastecho is netmail   
    MK>> and mailbox directories.   
      
    ml> ok... only outbound...   
      
    RW> [????]   
      
   MK's second line quoted above... "the only outbound that works"...   
      
    MK>> Everything else ends up in the appopriate directory but is never   
    MK>> tossed.   
      
    ml> hunh? tossed is for inbound traffic...   
      
    RW> outbound doesn't get tossed? Really?   
      
   right... outbound is /scanned/ from the message bases... inbound is /tossed/   
   into the message bases...   
      
    ml>  you were just talking about outbound... i'm confused :?   
      
    MK>> I recieve just fine.  As a note, one of my email passwords was   
    MK>> corrupted so I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to start   
    MK>> from scratch.   
      
    ml> irex has been known to get corrupted by looking at it sideways...   
      
    RW> Could that be because it's the linux version? I've never seen a   
    RW> corrupted windows version here and I've used Irex for at least 12,   
    RW> maybe 15 years now. In fact, if you leave the configs alone once   
    RW> they're working properly, Irex continues to run for weeks and   
    RW> months without interuption.    
      
   i don't know what flavors the hundreds of complaints over the years have   
   spoken about... i do seem to recall you having problems at one point and   
   having to put a backup of your configs in place...   
      
    ml> everyone i know that uses it gets their configs right and then makes   
    ml> copies of them to put back in place the next time they get    
    ml> corrupted.   
      
    RW> I don't, because there is no need.   
      
   hummm...   
      
    ml> .. the real question is why do they get corrupted in the   
    ml> first place... starting clean won't prevent the corruption from what   
    ml> i've read over the years...   
      
    RW> I had Irex stop working lately, but it was due to a switch being   
    RW> changed that was the cause. It now sits in the 'tray' waiting for a   
    RW> connect on the 24555 port that it is listening to. That won't   
    RW> happen until I find the password to the router to make a change   
    RW> there.   
      
    :) good thing i changed it for ya, eh? O:)
