Or are they being > rejected? By "drop" I mean that I see sendmail log a message in maillog, but nothing gets sent on to my user account. That message is logged as zero size. While writing this reply I noticed the `tail -f /var/log/maillog' (that I have running in another window) scroll and I just saw this: Jan 2 17:32:27 freebsd1 sendmail[1460]: RAA01460: lost input channel from misery.sdf.com [204.244.210.193] Jan 2 17:32:27 freebsd1 sendmail[1460]: RAA01460: from=<tom@sdf.com>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=misery.sdf.com [204.244.210.193] which displays the same symptoms as the problem from the other relay, except for the "lost input channel" message. So what did you do to cause that? Was it a re-transmit from earlier in the day/night? FWIW, the relay I have problems with is homeworld.cygnus.com which handles both CVS and mailing lists for NetBSD. Chuckle. I _know_ that it's configuration hasn't changed because I have an account on the machine. NetBSD use qmail. I have a .qmail in my home directory that forwards mail to the same address that FreeBSD sends to. If I send mail from here to my account on that machine, it should be forwarded back like it used to. Instead I see: Jan 2 17:28:15 freebsd1 sendmail[1429]: RAA01429: from=<jb@NetBSD.ORG>, size=0,class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=homeworld.cygnus.com [205.180.83.70] which has been trying since yesterday. So I tried subscribing to one of the same NetBSD lists from that machine, after deleting the .qmail so that the mail would be saved. Here is the header from a message saved on homeworld.cygnus.com, that I should have received as jb@cimlogic.com.au: > From port-i386-owner-jb=NetBSD.ORG@NetBSD.ORG Fri Jan 02 03:10:16 1998 > Return-Path: <port-i386-owner-jb=NetBSD.ORG@NetBSD.ORG> > Delivered-To: jb@NetBSD.ORG > Received: (qmail 3613 invoked by uid 605); 2 Jan 1998 03:10:12 -0000 > Received: (qmail 3533 invoked from network); 2 Jan 1998 03:10:04 -0000 > Received: from myall.awadi.com.au (150.207.2.65) > by homeworld.cygnus.com with SMTP; 2 Jan 1998 03:10:04 -0000 > Received: from bunya.awadi ([150.207.31.63]) by myall.awadi.com.au (8.7.5/8.7.3) > with SMTP id NAA21592 for <port-i386@netbsd.org>; Fri, 2 Jan 1998 13:38:51 +1030 (CST) > Received: from mallee.awadi by bunya.awadi (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) > id NAA08511; Fri, 2 Jan 1998 13:38:50 +1030 > Received: by mallee.awadi (SMI-8.6/SMI-SVR4) > id NAA15023; Fri, 2 Jan 1998 13:38:50 +1030 > From: blymn@baea.com.au (Brett Lymn) > Message-Id: <199801020308.NAA15023@mallee.awadi> > Subject: Doom available. > To: port-i386@netbsd.org > Date: Fri, 2 Jan 1998 13:38:50 +1030 (CST) > X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23] > MIME-Version: 1.0 > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII > Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit > Sender: port-i386-owner@NetBSD.ORG > Precedence: list > Delivered-To: port-i386@NetBSD.ORG > Now if I set .qmail to redirect mail to jb@freebsd.org and use the FreeBSD forwarding (only for a short while 8-) and I send a message to myself on that machine, I receive the mail OK: Jan 2 17:57:13 freebsd1 sendmail[1494]: RAA01494: from=<jb@NetBSD.ORG>, size=770, class=0, pri=30770, nrcpts=1, msgid=<19980102065147.20258.qmail@mail.NetBSD.ORG>, proto=ESMTP, relay=y.physics.usyd.edu.au [129.78.129.110] Jan 2 17:57:13 freebsd1 sendmail[1494]: RAA01494: to=<jb@freebsd1.cimlogic.com.au>, delay=00:00:02, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=local, stat=Sent but the *exact* same mail message sent direct to this machine fails with: Jan 2 18:00:16 freebsd1 sendmail[1504]: SAA01504: from=<jb@NetBSD.ORG>, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=SMTP, relay=homeworld.cygnus.com [205.180.83.70] So must be something wrong with the configuration. But the rewriting rules haven't changed since 2.2.2 which worked! I think I'll grab another disk and put 2.2.2 on that and see if it still works. I'm not sure what else to do.
