Jaysuz Alexander...you're such a sweet guy! you always this grumpy?

And I have been "reading" the mc file. As I mentioned I've been away 
from Sendmail for a considerable amount of time concentrating on a host 
of other things and not spending every waking moment on Sendmail config.


I've tried setting this line a two different ways.
	Other 	DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl 	
yields an SMTP connection refused message.

	Other 	DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=25,Addr=192.168.0.4, Name=MTA')dnl 	
yields a password dialog box from the client that isn't accepted by the 
service on the other end. Which is exactly why I've been chasing my tail 
as I have.

Thank you for the sendmail.org/faq link. I hadn't thought to look there.  :)
