Sendmail was in mind not to work after i installed it and seemingly adequately configurated, according to some guys i met on the IRC, but could not work, i saw such messages in the log files Aug 4 00:52:00 ketanu sm-msp-queue[364]: g73A4ovb036744: [...] mailer=relay, pri= 1740047, relay=ketanu.dyndns.org., dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: Connection refused by ke tanu.dyndns.org. where ketanu.dyndns.org is my host's name. I eventually received some warning mails (from my host's MTA) to tell me about all the mails he could not deliver (all mails i tried to send), and the messages told about DNS. I removed the first line in my `/etc/resolv.conf' file that used to say `search ketanu.dyndns.org' and it had always been here, although i do not understand its function (since i do not now what is a `search list' in name resolution context), and after the removal sendmail works good (after being restarted). I wonder because i ever had this search list on my host and it is the first time i encounter a matter with name resolution. -- Ketanu <ketanu@wanadoo.fr> - RSA PGP Key ID: 0x20D90C12 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
