Here's what I think is happening. FreeBSD's mailserver checks your hosts announced name on EHLO. From your sendmail config, it will default to: "saturn.spectraweb.ch" This is *not* resolvable by DNS. What you have to do is to add the following line to your .mc file: define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `spectraweb.ch')dnl Rebuild and install. That should fix it, I think. -- Jonathan Chen <jonc@chen.org.nz> ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "We laugh in the face of danger, we drop icecubes down the vest of fear" - Edmond Blackadder III To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
