Wow!  Thanks, Warren!  I guess I wasn't as close as I thought on
the masquerading.

So - I did all that you suggested, and it sure looks like it worked,
but I still have a question.  It did both the hostname.mc and the
hostname.submit.mc files and .cf files, but I didn't do anything
to the hostanme.submit.mc file.  Am I still OK?
