Robert R. Cali                  <Rob.Cali@bridge.bst.bls.com>

The solution was to install Patch PHNE_10099 (has replaced Patch
PHNE_9624).
After installing this Patch everything works OK. This machine does only
send
mail to other machines on our lokal network so I only need /etc/host and
no
fancy DNS-setup.

Thanks Again everyone!

  Konfiguruje sie najprosciej za pomoca SAMa. Mozna okreslic w jakiej
