I changed the config to have O HoldExpensive=True O DeliveryMode=background which I think is what I had on my previous 1.1.5 instalation. The idea being to queue internet mail and deliver local mail instantly. When I did this, mail connections from tye outside world started to fail. So far as I could see when someone tied to connect to sendmail from the world outside, it would die a horrible death. I couldn't manage to spot why. This is just a request to see if anyone else has seen something similar and can point me to a likely suspect carea of my configuration. ^_^ (O O) \_/@@\ \\~~/ ~~ - RJC To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
