Take a look at the logs below .. I cannot for the life of me send any messages to 'vikingelectric.com' from one paticular machine - all the others work just fine. YET, I can ping it and query MX tags just fine without a problem: PLATFORM: 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #0: Sendmail: 8.12.5 -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- ---------Sender/Recipient-------- g8DIAruR001339 5 Fri Sep 13 13:10 tech (host map: lookup (vikingelectric.com): deferred) tech@vikingelectric.com # nslookup -q=mx vikingelectric.com Non-authoritative answer: vikingelectric.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = gwmail.vikingelectric. com Authoritative answers can be found from: vikingelectric.com nameserver = ns1.vikingelectric.com gwmail.vikingelectric.com internet address = 208.157.215.18 ns1.vikingelectric.com internet address = 208.157.215.14 PING gwmail.vikingelectric.com (208.157.215.18): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 208.157.215.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=117 time=98.547 ms mail -v test@[208.157.215.18] works just fine. -- # mail -v test@vikingelectric.com Subject: test test .

I have rebooted the box (against my best judgement), I have switched domain servers (via resolv.conf) - I have tried everything I could think of. Perhaps it has to do with it being Friday the 13th.
