"biz@6x6" has just about as much mail bounced from my system as all the other shithead spammers put together (oh no, luckysurf.com gets that honour). In short (I use postfix not sendmail, so I am guessing here) it sounds like sendmail won't accept mail from fake domain addresses according to it's rule-sets as set up out of the box on FreeBSD. I would be happy if I were you. -- Regards Cliff To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
