Found it thanks. Here is the latest from the log. I kept getting a bad
netmask and I found that I had entered the wrong info. I want to allow
all from 192.168.69.1 to 192.168.69.254 which are my local LAN addresses
so it should be 192.168.69.0/32. That did the trick.

My next question is that now I can connect and send mail to a local
user, it won't let me relay through it from my local LAN and it is set
up to allow that (I think).

Thanks,
Yancey
