Thanks for yours and other helpful responses.
Problem - I can ping my ADSL modem, and myself and localhost.
I can ping myself as address and also by full domain name and abbreviated name.
ie it doesn't look like a DNS problem.
Except I can't get out! :-(
Error messages = zero. Sendmail simply doesn't load :-(
I have looked at updating and have collected a number of docs also from the
sendmail src file. They refer to a tightening of security, but I am no techy-
guru so I wasn't able to determine what, if anything, I was supposed to change
to deal with my problem :-(
