Apologies for the quick post. I found the domain file issue and i had changed the DOMAIN param in freebsd.mc from generic to prosoundweb.com. switching it back to generic obviously took care of that problem however after opening up the SMART_HOST: define(`SMART_HOST', `bhost1.broadjam.net') I am still timing out which leads me to believe it is a true issue of timing between the servers and NOT improper configuration on the box. If i understand everything now by uncommenting the SMART_HOST define and giving it our true mail server this should relay all mail generated and coming from and coming into the server to the actual mail server yes? I also now only have sendmail_enabl="YES" in rc.conf am i way off base here? ken; On Feb 28, 2005, at 10:10 AM, Ken Hawkins wrote: > > On Feb 27, 2005, at 6:25 PM, Warren Block wrote: > >> On Sun, 27 Feb 2005, Ken Hawkins wrote: >> >>> alright I found an old blurb about handling a scenario similar to >>> mine: >>> >>> http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-July/ >>> 014468.html >>> >>> it essentially says: >>> >>> >>> If you want to get FreeBSD to forward your email to the MS-Exchange >>> server, you have to: >>> >>> 1. make sure sendmail is running.
