I started over so this entry has been, in effect, deleted.

Nope, don't want that. I'm only going to send.

OK, I started over with a copy of the .cf you gave me. I changed DV to:
# DVYour.External.Gateway
DVsmtp.roadrunner.com

I also had to change QQ because eCS lives on the E: drive on my computers:

# Queue directory - this must be changed if TCP/IP is moved!
OQE:\MPTN\ETC\MQUEUE

Those are the only two changes I made (with the e editor) to your copy. Still the iptrace DNS
lookup name is FastEagle.
