Hi Raffy, Saw your homepage. Like your banner in the middle where Hoax, and so on links are found. How did you do that (it's pure html as much as I saw)? I work on the same. I have problems with the borders although they're set to 0. But let me get to the problem. there is one.

Aehm, let me ask you what exactly you mean by this? Is it the problem that sendmail queries authd when sending emails?

Yes, sendmail is queries to port 113 on my firewall box. On this box no auth is running. Not accepting these queries results in much slower down-/upload of mails. Since on the firewall box is no auth server installed I don't see a real threat. So I let it be. I classified it problem no 3742978237 on my to do list.

Disable it, if that is your problem. Or am I misreading anything?

No, you're not. If, then I have to disable it on sendmail first and afterwards on the firewall box. CUL Philipp
