I launch sendmail with this parameters "-bd -fflag@libero.it", but all my emails comes from flag@localhost I MUST change that line...=P 2) Sendmail seems to be unable to resolve correctly my ip/name. I use dialup so I haven't a DNS ready to respond to my request at any moment, and in my /etc/hosts there is: 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain Then if I telnet to localhost or localhost.localdomain 25 I get sendmail, so it's seems to be ok. But when I send an email to root@localhost.localdomain I get a "localhost.localdomain: hostname lookup failure" ?!?!?!? But if I send an email to root@localhost the email is delivered right. Why? It seems to be very strange.... 3) I have I dialup so anytime I try to send an email to other domain than localhost I get a "cannot check MX...", I resolved this changing the DeliveryMode from queue to deferred but I dislike this solution.... Wow, I done it..=) I hope you can help me. Paolo p.s. Apologize me for my bad english To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
