Where do I start to look? It's probably ident lookups. Either stop sendmail requesting them, or unblock it on your firewall from that machine. If it's not ident lookups, then it'll be DNS, I guess. Add an entry for those machines to your hosts file, and if that still doesn't work then run a local nameserver and make it authoritative for 1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. Ceri -- "Ummm, excuse me.
