Or perhaps, some old problem is just showing up. All my log reports, et cetera are stuck in mqueue. Example -- for years, the following line has been in root's crontab: (sorry if folded) @reboot /bin/echo "reboot" |/usr/bin/mail -s "start-up at `date`" root@localhost It has worked without any problems delivering an email indicating start-up time. Now... Well, here's some lines from the 'mqueue' file: H??Received: from zebra.athome.net (localhost.athome.net [127.0.0.1]) by zebra.athome.net (8.13.3/8.13.3) with ESMTP id l33AFhEA000481 for ; Tue, 3 Apr 2007 06:15:44 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from root@ld2.networksolutions.com) H??Received: (from root@localhost) by zebra.athome.net (8.13.3/8.13.3/Submit) id l33AFhqS000433 for root@localhost; Tue, 3 Apr 2007 06:15:43 -0400 (EDT) (envelope-from root) It seems that my local network name of "athome.net" is being "evaluated." >From 'whois athome.net' -- Domain Name: ATHOME.NET Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.

I'm assuming I did something wrong years back in my 'sendmail' setup. At this point, I certainly don't remember the whys & hows of what I did! Could someone *please* help? Thanks! V
