Losik" To: questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Sendmail,ppp,can't receive Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I almost got my FBSD(2.2.2R) fully configured. I love it! The only problem that I have is that my system can send mail ok, but can't receive any. I am 192.168.1.1 power.my.domain I also have static IP which is aliased under power.myisp.com in hosts file. In rc.local I have "ifconfig ed2 inet netmask 255.255.255.255 alias" Sendmail is daemonized and I telnet to port 25 ok, however mail always gets returned if sent from outside with error of Too many hops 18 (17 max): from via power.myisp.com to I don't see any warning or error messages in /var/log/maillog, but I do see entries something like: Sep 19 14:55:02 bms sendmail[447]: OAA00447: from=, size=1184, class=0, pri=31184, nrcpts=1, msgid=, proto=ESMTP, relay=root@myisp.com I think I missing something simple in configuration somewhere. Thanks. Gregory -Gregory Losik (gregor@cc.gatech.edu)
