I have a couple more questions and I was wondering if anyone could recommend a course of action about resolving this. Here are all the occasions that this mesage showed up: Apr 25 10:09:52 tucu sendmail[29625]: KAA29625: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=, relay=lucy.fukuda.is.uec.ac.jp [130.153.154.151], reject=501 ... Sender domain must exist Apr 25 10:09:52 tucu sendmail[29625]: KAA29625: from=, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, relay=lucy.fukuda.is.uec.ac.jp [130.153.154.151] Apr 25 13:46:42 tucu sendmail[29869]: NAA29869: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=, relay=IDENT:root@olderman.analytic.ru [212.5.87.200], reject=501 ... Sender domain must exist Apr 25 13:46:42 tucu sendmail[29869]: NAA29869: from=, size=0, class=0, pri=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, relay=IDENT:root@olderman.analytic.ru [212.5.87.200] I checked the mail queue with the mailq command and there isn't anything in the queue. There are only two people that use this system and I've checked to make sure that their mail client and my own is correctly configured. Has someone done something to my computer? What steps do I need to take to investigate this? michael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
