I have tried the suggestions and still can't get this to
work. I have put the config files and a X log file up on a
little web page I have started that (at least tries to) help
folks in the district set up their email clients - tough
stuff that. The URL is http://scnc.lsd.k12.mi.us/~mrambo if
y'all don't mind giving it a look. I'm trying to get the
beginnings of a "clue" on how this config file works but I
still don't see what is keeping X from working.

Many thanks...
