The problem (whatever it was) was solved when I had our second site
move from dialup to broadband wireless. Somehow, it had something
to do with Earthlink dialup. Or perhaps Comcast fixed the original problem,
but we never checked to see if we could send email from site2 to site1
after the initial problem was encountered. That was the first thing I
checked once the broadband was working and it works just the way I
wanted it to...thanks for your response.
