The error comes from the mail server that Sendmail tried to contact. Nick, you need two things: a) To set up a "smart host", a mail gateway that will receive all your outgoing mail. This is usually your ISP's mail gateway. b) To set up envelope-address masquerading. That is, to make Sendmail use a MAIL FROM command with a sender whose domain is valid. You can easily set this up after reading /usr/src/contrib/sendmail/cf/README and use the following FEATURE's in your sendmail.mc file: MASQUERADE_AS(`domain.address')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_entire_domain')dnl FEATURE(`masquerade_envelope')dnl Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
