Unfortunately, I use ipfw/ip6fw so I don't know if my guesses are correct. That rule only appears to handle outbound connections (therefore allowing the sendmail client to open an outbound connection to the localhost sendmail server). It does not allow for inbound connections (thereby allowing the incoming connection). Perhaps what you need is also: echo 'pass in quick on lo0' > /etc/ipf6.rules echo 'pass out quick on lo0' >> /etc/ipf6.rules ipf -6 -f /etc/ipf6.rules Note the -6 for the IPv6 rules (which appear to be kept separate from the IPv4 rules). Again, I'm just guessing at ipf usage but you get the idea (I hope). To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
