This is really a sendmail question, of course, and 2.0.5 is really old now. You should check whether sendmail is running (you need a line like sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" in /etc/sysconfig). The -bd tells it to listen on the SMTP port, which is probably your problem. The -q30m says "run through the send queue every 30 minutes and send anything you can". Greg
