Did you actually uncomment the line? If it starts with "dnl" it is considered a comment. Did you preserve the `' around the names? Can you "telnet mailrelay.myisp.com 25" and have it reply properly? You can also try to bump up the log level and see if /var/log/maillog gives you any more hints. There are several ways to bump the loglevel, but I usually just add the following line to the .mc file (and "make cf install restart"): define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `25') Another thing you could try is to use square brackets around the mailrelay, like so: define(`SMART_HOST', `[mailrelay.myisp.com]') This will force Sendmail to connect directly to that host, instead of doing a DNS lookup for MX pointers. /Daniel Eriksson _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
