Many of the How-To I found used Cyrus but I could also find many who said Cyrus was evil. In trying to see what it was doing right or wrong when trying to do the setup and I would say it was cryptic at best to me. As a side, I meant no disrespect for what you left out of your How-To Johnny, I think I found a response as to why you did it in answer somewhere else and that seemed reasonable. I do suppose the only true way to make this work.. is to learn each piece and make it work for me instead of hoping for a step by step to get me going quicker. Sometimes it's just nice to be a bit lazy with the new things, it's quite a deal going from Sendmail to something else as it is :) Thanks.
