Well, I'm gonna start with a couple dumb questions... What version of sendmail are you running? I think the most recent is 8.7.5... When you switched, did you keep a copy of your old sendmail.cf? Have you done a diff on the old vs. the new? I know you said that your timeouts were very high, but exactly what is the r option? I used to run with 15m, but that isn't long enough anymore. Try at least 30m or maybe even 1h or more... Also, do you have any problems with a connection to those sites if you do it manually (with telnet)? How heavily is your gateway loaded? If you have a heavy load, you may want to consider using a more efficient mailer than sendmail... -Doug Doug Wellington doug@sun1paztcn.wr.usgs.gov System and Network Administrator US Geological Survey, Tucson, AZ Project Office According to proposed Federal guidelines, this message is a "non-record". Hmm, I wonder if _everything_ I say is a "non-record"... FreeBSD and Apache - the best real tools for the virtual world! Check out www.freebsd.org and www.apache.org, and for you music types, check out TCLMidi... God, I wonder what Apple is going to mess up next? Have they been taking lessons from Novell?
