You can then watch or just look at the sendmail log file: /var/log/maillog And see what is actually happening. You should be aware that there are typically 2 to 3 separate instances of sendmail running passing the mail around. Hope this helps. -Derek At 09:39 AM 2/16/2006, James Csoka wrote: >I'm reposting this with some more info.....any help would be greatly >appreciated. > >I have a mail server (it also functions as a firewall) running freebsd5.4, >with mailscanner, openwebmail, and sendmail.
