hhhmmm, I do run my own DNS and Email server.  The FROM address reflects the
correct address of the server, its just that the header info does not.
Example:

        www.ripandburn.com -> generates Email and connects to Emal Server
        Header Info of Incomeing Email:
                www.carpe-dm.com connects to mail server: mail.carpe-dm.com
                ...
                From: auto-email@ripandburn.com
                To: user@blah.com
               ......

I want it to to say:  www.ripandburn.com connects to mail server:
mail.ripandburn.com

Where does SERVER_URL exist at, which script?  I just want the encoded mail
exchange/header info to match the FROM address.  Its a small detail but it
is so much cleaner and that way each of my doamins would have the ability to
look like a complete, independent entity.  Most users will never know, but I
am a stickler for details.

Thanx
