Chosen solution

solved. My web and mail host did some major security upgrades and their documentation and support request responses were in error. so a gazillion screenshots later, and me fighting Gmail as my sole backup ...

and not a word from this community.

time for you guys to start using Mailing Lists. the response from my questions on the Debian debian-user list helped me solve the somewhat obvious error. (this website facility is obviously too obscure)

PS: the chosen solution feature is Broken. I clicked in THIS post and it flagged a totally of point post. PPS: I can supply the contact info for an Excellent web designer. He is rather inexpensive and I would be happy to cover the initial cost.
