I'm trying to use our FreeBSD box as an outgoing mail server from MS Outlook, but Outlook times out, and /var/log/maillog contains the following: May 31 14:04:42 files sendmail[248]: f4VNse900248: lost input channel from tom.n issin-hawaii.com [10.2.1.5] to MTA after rcpt May 31 14:04:42 files sendmail[248]: f4VNse900248: from=, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=1, proto=SMTP, daemon=MTA, relay=tom.nissin-hawaii.com [10.2.1.5] In this case I was only sending to my account (username) on the FreeBSD computer (named "files" for now). In the long run, the goal is to use an aliases file to easy distribution of a biweekly e-letter. (Which or Domino/AS400 doesn't seem capable of, despite the price....) I guess it doesn't have anything to do with FreeBSD -- I tried the same setup at home using Sendmail on TurboLinux, and had the same problem. I must be overlooking something in the setup. I've done the following: /etc/mail/access /etc/hosts /etc/mail/local-host-names (what's the format? I just listed locals line-by-line.) The local lan PCs aren't listed in our DNS server, but with the hosts listing, it shouldn't matter. I set the PC (Win2000) to identify itself with the fully-qualified name ("tom.nissin-hawaii.com" for my Desktop) over the lan. What else is there? Any ideas would help... ------------------- Tom Hippensteele Nissin Travel USA, Inc.
