Sendmail will run only local submission if you don't have sendmail_enable=3D"YES" in /etc/rc.conf, so you need to add it to make sendmail listen on interfaces other than 127.0.0.1. Regarding SMTP AUTH - you need to recompile sendmail with SASL - http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/smtp-auth.html > > Also, when I installed FreeBSD, I installed SSH.

So either comment out ssh lines in /etc/inetd.conf and restart it or remove sshd_enable=3D"YES" from /etc/rc.conf (but be sure to check sshd(8) manpage and search for 'inetd'). > > Thanks for the help, > > Lisa CAsey > HTH, Yuri --GpGaEY17fSl8rd50 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQBGjAQNeoAklVFrLdgRAoDwAJ0dvH+2UIAGc50r5lwVkZAzt8Ie9QCgj1ov jK9hMT6QVoJkjIi4Je1APIc= =sRdw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --GpGaEY17fSl8rd50--
