MK's second line quoted above... "the only outbound that works"...

 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

 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,

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

 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
