On ns1.babes.com if I do: mail lolla@babes.com I get: no such user. So it's obvious that sendmail ain't checking that MX. I've tricked it by aliasing lolla > lolla@another.com and then on mail.babes.com: forwared lolla@another.com > lolla@babes.com BUT that's nuts. What's the trick. The host file only has localhost in it. AND what's the name of the file that has in it, "Use host first and the use named", or something like that? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
