I usually find that a line like that is an indication that sendmail has rejected the mail--it has a zero size and no recipients. You should actually find that somewhere in the log shortly before that line is an entry like: Feb 17 04:11:31 email sendmail[24444]: EAA24444: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<jone001@hotmail.com>, relay=[208.254.57.2], reject=..... Where the "....." at the end is the rejection code, and an English explanation for the rejection. The ruleset may also be something different, but the anti-spam, anti-relay stuff usually starts with check_ Tony -- Tony Landells <ahl@austclear.com.au> Senior Network Engineer Ph: +61 3 9677 9319 Australian Clearing Services Pty Ltd Fax: +61 3 9677 9355 Level 4, Rialto North Tower 525 Collins Street Melbourne VIC 3000 Australia To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
