I realize this, and this makes it odd. But I can't even issue the RCPT TO: command because the MAIL FROM: line is rejected. > > 1) You are running the sendmail daemon on a host perminantly connected > to > the Net. > If this is the case you need to go through the appropriate channels to > get your domain name delegated to your system Delegation is not the problem. I've done testing by simply telneting directly to the smtp port, and issuing the SMTP commands. It will not accept any mail from a domain that is not in local-host-names. Its as if its not querying the DNS servers. But the resolvers working, And everything seems to be setup correctly. I've monitored traffic with tcpdump and it is talking to the nameserver when specifying the MAIL FROM: line, and the domain exists and MX records setup and it works fine on my non debian servers, but it still says "Unrecognized host name nistix.com". So I'm now out of ideas... -- James Brents [EMAIL PROTECTED] Houston, TX, USA http://www.nistix.com/
