"man sendmail" wasn't useful either. is it because of the 2 NICs that actually have the same hostname associated to their specific addresses? anyone know? anyone know where to find doc about this? thanks regards Andreas Ntaflos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
