People that do are supposed to do some investigations themselves, and if they still can't find the cause at least provide information like (in this case) routing info, ifconfig etc and what they have done to investigate, > Well, the ping issue is just an example. > My real problem is that sendmail can't send > anything locally: The real problem is the routing got busted by a bad commit. This affects both ping and sendmail (and many others). I recommend you run a -stable branch. Ruben
