I'll try to explain things as best I can. A friend helped me set up a firewall *and* move my connections from my IDSL router back to my hub. After umpteen hours we finally had things flawless firewall-wise. We moved this host (tao.thought.org) from its real IP to 10.0.0.2. From my DNS server sage.thought.org AKA ns1.thought.org (10.0.0.1), mail only got through if I used my FQDN. Mail to "kline@thought.org" either bounced or was off somewhere. Yes, I did add 10.0.0.1 to my access file ad marked it RELAY. There seemed to be a problem with my /etc/namedb/s/db.thought.org entries. Either that or with my sendmail.cf on NS1. Or then again, possibly something else! If anyone can grok all of this and has any ideas, I'd be much obliged for some ideas. gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org www.thought.org Public service Unix To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
