Hi Per,
Thanks for the reply.
I will get this thing to work properly still...=)
Quick question:
What is the version of the latest PSKMail server manual ?
Mine says 1.0.34 dated 03-03-2011, although I downloaded the "one Click"
newer server 1.5.0
I printed the manual version 1.0.34 out and have been all over it, but
maybe there is a later server manual version ?

Reading my new thick Ubuntu Linux book as fast as I can as well...=)
