Speaking of "computer at home", I too am having problems with sendmail 8.9.2 refusing to accept email from exmh-2.0.2 on my local machine, but only when I'm not logged into the net. The entry in /var/log/maillog is: Mar 30 18:43:06 nospam sendmail[41739]: SAA41739: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net>, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=451 <dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net>... Sender domain must resolve I am not running a local named. Am guessing I should be. In the past have enabled the easy default "caching only DNS" and something about my pppd config always had to do a DNS timeout before attempting to dial the modem. Use pppd to establish my connection. "killall pppd" to bring it down. nospam.hiwaay.net does resolve to 127.0.0.1 in DNS. This business of a proper name for home Un*x boxes on dynamic IP addresses has always confused me. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
