I assume you are not using uucp, then. Try specifying the smart-host at it's IP address like so: define(`SMART_HOST', smtp:[123.456.789.12]) or define(`SMART_HOST', smtp:[123.456.789.12.]) The [ ] are supposed to tell sendmail to *not* resolve the address, and use it as specified. The second variation (with the trailing dot) probably isn't necessary and may not even work. -- Scott Barker Linux Consultant [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.cuug.ab.ca:8001/~barkers/ (under construction) [ I try to reply to all e-mail within 5 days.
