Doug, Mats Your advice is on the money; thanks. I see this: Jun 10 05:43:40 jake sendmail[15068]: l5AAhekD015068: to=bornboulder77@yahoo.com, ctladdr=oracle (1004/1005), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=30062, relay=[127.0.0.1] [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Your tip along with that given by Mats suggests that I need to learn about /etc/mail/sendmail.cf It appears that the box cannot send mail to itself: Jun 10 03:05:44 jake sendmail[14546]: l5A84ObZ014546: to=postmaster, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=154501, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Jun 10 03:05:44 jake sendmail[14546]: l5485I55093939: to=root, ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=6+00:00:26, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=691450, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Jun 10 03:05:44 jake sendmail[14546]: l5485I55093939: l5A84Oba014546: sender notify: Cannot send message for 5 days Jun 10 03:05:44 jake sendmail[14546]: l5A84Oba014546: to=root, delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=relay, pri=152806, relay=[127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1] Currently, my main assumption is that /etc/mail/sendmail.cf is the primary administrative interface for e-mail. I'll nose around via google. -b ____________________________________________________________________________________ No need to miss a message. Get email on-the-go with Yahoo! Mail for Mobile.
