    Thanks for your continued comments Mike,

    Hosts is only used as a DNS replacement. It is not used at all on incomming
    packets. What you suggest should have no effect on incomming smtp. All
    outgoing mail works fine.

    As far as HOSTNAME, I think, someone correct me if I am wrong, that since I
    have a static IP on the net 24/7 via DSL that the entry in HOSTNAME for
    machine.domainname is correct.
