Why can't your IP resolve? Sorry, I probably didn't say that right. What I meant was, if it tries to reverse lookup a name based its own IP, it wouldn't work. If that matters. I do see it complaining things like 'gethostbyaddr(192.168.1.103) failed: 1'. > > I've tried adding this local IP to /etc/hosts for kicks. > > Nothing changed. > > Does your /etc/nsswitch.conf point first at /etc/hosts and then at dns? Yes. Do I need to restart anything after changing hosts?

If yes, what is it? Yes, for example: Nov 17 19:52:53 bifrost sm-mta[1740]: iAI3qqvn001740: ruleset=check_rcpt, arg1=<charon@seektruth.org>, relay=mxout2.cac.washington.edu [140.142.33.4], reject=550 5.7.1 <charon@seektruth.org>... Relaying denied Is it denying mail because it thinks it's not seektruth.org? -David
