You may get some answers from people for have updated/installed in the last two weeks, but I need more information. E.g., FreeBSD version and/or build date; maybe even the version of sendmail you are wrestling with, and the contents of /etc/rc.conf. My systems are 4.5; build date=2002.03.07.14.41.00. With that you set Sendmail 8.11.6 (telnet localhost 25). With that you get: pemaquid:~/cvsup> ps -auxw | grep sendmail root 101 0.0 1.2 2504 1472 ?? Ss 25Mar02 0:39.72 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail) and with sendmail works out of the box to send mail. Assuming you have a later version try grep -i sendmail /etc/defaults/rc.conf and check your setting in /etc/rc.conf On Mon, 8 Apr 2002, Nick Lozinsky wrote: > Hello, > > For the last two weeks, I've been trying to get to the bottom of how > sendmail works to send mail.
