Thanks to Bob for the pointer to the 'correct' way to solve this.
I had read that in the FAQ, yet somehow put in the 
'smtp_accept_max_per_connection' instead.  :-(

Maybe they did get my mail?  Cram_md5 still fails but the mail was accepted????

Other then the ISP being very inconsistant, the only thing I wonder about is the 
"wtopa@intergate.com".  Shouldn't that be wtopa@localhost or wtopa@buddy.mtntop.home
which is the local domain?  In the /etc/email-addresses it reads
wtopa:  huntbrittany@intergate.com

Sorry about the lack of your replies.  I forgot to add the list to my
.mailfilterrc.  I got your replies from the archives.  Thanks!!!
