  I was afraid that might be the case.  I have trouble communicating with 
people here and the admin is at a different location so I haven't asked this
question there yet.

  So my email address would be something like this:

  fredfl2@210.217.124.187 ?

I was thinking I would need to have the send mail daemon started in rc.conf. Do I
