problems with jail

[Jim Stapleton]

Thank you, it still did not connect using that. The mail server is a
SMTP server. Also I copied over my host's resolve.conf file.

With all these hassles/headaches, would it be better/more secure for
me to settup Bochs or QEmu running a virtual BSD server?

Thanks,
-Jim Stapleton
