I've been using that name internally for many years and I do have it listed in /etc/hosts. I thought that /etc/hosts was checked before bind. It was never an issue before May 28 but the solution was relatively easy: change the network name for my LAN add the hostname to /etc/mail/local-host-names restart sendmail (kill -HUP `head -1 /var/run/sendmail.pid`) Thanks for the clue stick and the quick response! It really was driving me crazy for a bit but I should know after 8 unix years that when contradictions exist, check the premises. I never dreamed anyone would actually use such a stupid hostname for real ;-) Best regards, Randy --
