I made no changes to my email gateway, but I am now having problems with it. Here is an entry in the log. 8/17/98 8:05:01 PM (SMTP Client2) Send: HELO 8/17/98 8:05:01 PM (SMTP Client2) Send: MAIL FROM Ted Brindle <brindlet@grps.k12.mi.us> 8/17/98 8:05:02 PM (SMTP Client2) Send: RCTP TO Ted_Brindle@home.grps.k12.mi.us 8/17/98 8:05:03 PM (SMTP Client2) 551 <Ted_Brindle@home.grps.k12.mi.us>... illegal relay 8/17/98 8:05:03 PM (SMTP Client2) Recipient rejected 8/17/98 8:05:03 PM () Write msg to brindlet@grps.k12.mi.us 8/17/98 8:05:03 PM (SMTP Client2) Closing connection Ted_Brindle@home.grps.k12.mi.us should arrive in my TF mailbox. It gets kicked back to me in my main account on our district wide server.
The changes that did occur. I moved all of my software, BBS files, topics and webspace to a 9650/350. The mail plugin had a bear of a time accepting the password that Ken gave me. I had to enter it 3 times before it took. I set up a gateway to accept USENET from the system that I run at home.
