Ok, that does make it work.. but in the past I didn't have to open 
relays for each individual user's IP.. an impossible task given the 
dialup world. Has something changed in sendmail that no longer allows an 
authentication of a user via user/pass which will allow them to use for 
instance their hosted domain name to send mail through our server?
