You mean your sendmail talking to the recipient's MTA directly ? >From my experience (that might be incomplete ), MTAs run by "serious" domains usually refuse to accept mail from anywhere but a resolvable domain name, and there are probably other restrictions as well. As yet my sendmail has been succesful at delivering mail addressed only to my ISP's domain (my POP account for instance ). I'm sorry that I have no better clue, if anybody has I'd also be glad to hear about it. > -jay Manuel Garcia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
