Don't know if that says anything new. I would wonder if it's some sort of lookup based on "ctladdr", but I get the same error if use "-f brody@math.umd.edu" which does show up in that field. sendmail -q -v reports: aleph# sendmail -q -v Running /var/spool/mqueue/i22M7pof000364 (sequence 1 of 17) ...

I'm a bit too poor to actually buy one :) Should I just change to use my ISP's domain? Thanks for the help!
