For reasons I don't understand your instance of sendmail is *not* talking to the MX for lists.oetiker.ch. For some reason it is talking to localhost. I've snipped a few of your log lines to make the relevant ones more obvious: > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sendmail[40229]: l2O14A5b040229: > from=user@example.com, size=327, class=0, nrcpts=1, > msgid=<20070324010410.GB39196@example.com>, relay=user@localhost > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: NOQUEUE: connect from localhost > [127.0.0.1] > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: l2O14A5q040230: --- 220 > example.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.13.8/8.13.8; Fri, 23 Mar 2007 18:04:10 > -0700 (PDT) > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: l2O14A5q040230: <-- EHLO example.com > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: l2O14A5q040230: --- 250- > example.com Hello > localhost [127.0.0.1], pleased to meet you > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: l2O14A5q040230: <-- RCPT > To:<smokeping-users-request@lists.oetiker.ch> > Mar 23 18:04:10 mx sm-mta[40230]: l2O14A5q040230: --- 550 5.2.1 > <smokeping-users-request@lists.oetiker.ch>... Mailbox disabled for > this recipient So that 550 isn't coming from lists.oetiker.ch, but is coming from your own host. Can you mail to any non-local address the way you tried to mail to that list address? My guess is not. Cheers, -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/
