Please have a look at the output of the mailq command (it will give you some clues as to where you outgoing mail is) and the contents of /var/log/maillog. Hopefully one of these files will help you debug your sendmail. You are probably right to suspect DNS problems for sendmail ... you should edit /etc/resolv.conf to point to your external DNS to get this enabled. /mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
