Giorgos, I apologise for the 'lack of information', but that is exactly the problem I have myself. I have checked the maillog file as you suggested, and all I see that relates to these users are messages like the following: > ----- > Jun 12 00:44:38 puck sendmail[10856]: XAA10856: timeout waiting for input from stefan.mip.co.za during message collect > Jun 12 00:44:38 puck sendmail[10856]: XAA10856: from=<stefan@mip.co.za>, size=0, class=0, pri=30000, nrcpts=1, msgid=<200106112144.X AA10856@mip.co.za>, proto=SMTP, relay=stefan.mip.co.za [10.3.15.62] > ----- I have checked that the IPs are correct, the hostnames are correct, the relay-domains file does correctly list the hostnames, and my DNS server (also on another freeBSD box) does correctly resolve these names and IPs forward and in reverse. The error above seems to indicate that sendmail has got as far as deciding it will accept the SMTP message from the client, but the client for some reason fails to sent the mail content. Or it is going missing?!? Any more ideas?

I have to admit that guessing what may be wrong, is kind of difficult with the information (or rather, lack of information) that you seem to have on this :/ -giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
