Sorry to bother you with this, but I am not a programmer and this is probably a simple question but I need some help if someone has the time.

Under Global I have the command   -  SMTP host  = smtp.comcast.net

ELOG responds with  -  Error sending Email via "smtp.comcast.net": 5.1.0 sender rejected : invalid sender domain

Your SMTP server does not accept the email send request from ELOG. That can have many reasons. Most systems are set up so that they do not accept SPAM. To do that, they do various checking of the sender address etc. Maybe you need an "Email from = mike2.cianci@comcast.net" in your config file to have a "real" sender address. Some more information you can get if you start elogd interactively in a DOS box with the "-v" flag, because then you will see all the debugging output of the communication between elogd and your SMTP server.
