The question I have however is when did the behavior of rejecting mail from LAME domains take place? It was not always this way and seems specific to FreeBSD in that the same version of sendmail on LINUX does not reject mail from LAME domains, nor has a problem of sending mail to LAME domains using the same cf files. I hope gshapiro does not mind, but I will cc him as he might be able to shed some light on the specifics of the FreeBSD issue. ---Mike -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike Tancsa, tel +1 519 651 3400 Network Administration, mike@sentex.net Sentex Communications www.sentex.net Cambridge, Ontario Canada www.sentex.net/mike To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
