I've tried comparing the configuration with a system that works sanely and can't find any explanation for this behaviour. Does this ring a bell with anyone? The working system is running -STABLE from mid-September and the non-working system is -STABLE from mid-July - but both are the same sendmail. DNS is working correctly (according to both dig and lynx). The only possibly relevant difference is that the non-working system has a hostname that is totally different to the FQDN that is visible externally - but I don't think this is relevant. Any ideas?
