Is there something unusual about your IP setup? sendmail should accept emails to users@[any local ip] without a problem. All I can think is that your mail server is behind a NAT of some sort and doesn't realize the rest of the world expects it to be at 12.158.17.27. Try putting that IP in /etc/mail/local-host-names, but I don't know if sendmail will accept IPs in that file. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
