Any help would be appreciated. Well, it's possible that hub.f.o was busy. It may be, however, that the host's sendmail still thinks that it has the name and IPA that it has at work. But at home, the rest of the world thinks it is the IPA that it has from sprint. I assume these are different. Many overly-anal sendmails will reject connections that appear to come from an IPA-spoofing host -- it figures you're a spammer or badboy. Do the bounce messages give more hints? Does /any/ mail at all get through? Dave -- Is the true purpose of Unix its use, or its administration?
