deferred means that delivery has been put off until later, when it will try again. This happens when it was unable to deliver the mail successfully to your mail service provider's machine. Sendmail's log information is sent to /var/log/mail.err /var/log/mail.info /var/log/mail.log /var/log/mail.warn The messages there should pinpoint the problem. If they don't tell you the answer, you could post them to the list, along with your config file, and I'm sure there'll be an expert lurking out there. Have you correcly sprecified your upstream mail server in your config file /etc/sendmail.mc. You need to specify it as follows define(`SMART_HOST', smtp:post.demon.co.uk)dnl (my upstream is post.demon.co.uk) I think that this file is generated initially by the debian configuration system. Once you have edited this file, run sendmailconfig as root, log on to the network and do /etc/init.d/sendmail restart HTH. -- Regards, Paul
