(host is canopus, jail is pollux) example: [jhorne@canopus ~]$ mail No mail for jhorne [jhorne@canopus ~]$ ifconfig|mail jhorne@pollux.dfwlp.com then, in my host's maillog, i see: [jhorne@canopus ~]$ tail /var/log/maillog|grep sm-mta May 8 19:51:24 canopus sm-mta[4523]: l490pONL004523: from=, size=1372, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200705090051.l490pO9h004521@canopus.dfwlp.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=Daemon0, relay=localhost.dfwlp.com [127.0.0.1] May 8 19:51:24 canopus sm-mta[4524]: l490pONL004523: to=, ctladdr= (1001/1001), delay=00:00:00, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=31654, relay=local, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent May 8 19:53:46 canopus sm-mta[4554]: l490rjLf004554: from=, size=1372, class=0, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200705090053.l490rjZT004553@canopus.dfwlp.com>, proto=ESMTP, daemon=Daemon0, relay=localhost.dfwlp.com [127.0.0.1] May 8 19:53:46 canopus sm-mta[4555]: l490rjLf004554: to=, ctladdr= (1001/1001), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, pri=31654, relay=local, dsn=2.0.0, stat=Sent and of course, nothing at all in the maillog of pollux. back on canopus, is the where the email in question has been delivered: [jhorne@canopus ~]$ mail Mail version 8.1 6/6/93. Type ? for help. "/var/mail/jhorne": 1 message 1 unread >U 1 jhorne@canopus.dfwlp Tue May 8 19:53 41/1723 & problem appears to be related to canopus using localhost as its relay, possibly amplified by the fact that canopus and pollux share the same mac address. is there a way around this? on my host (canopus) i have sendmail_enable="NO" in /etc/rc.conf. also, local DNS is correctly configured, and resolves the correct ip from canopus im totally stumped here, is there a way around this caveat? thanks, -- Jonathan Horne http://dfwlpiki.dfwlp.org freebsd@dfwlp.com
