Thanks Chuck, and the others with the same suggestion. I've set that parameter in the freebsd.mc file and still have the same problem. I ssh'd into my current web server box, running RedHat, and sent a message from the cli mail and watched the messages, and did the same on the FreeBSD box (which will replace the Linux box soon as mail works). Look at the two sections below, notice the lines 250 in each section - they are the reverse of each other. The message sent from the Linux box went through to its destination, but not the message from the FreeBSD box. The Linux box had no configuring done to make it send mail out. I have set up previous versions of FreeBSD, all the way back to 3.0, and have never had to do any configuring to get any to send mail out. It has always just worked, including a previous setup here in this office connected to the same network. So I'm wondering what has changed in 5.1 to cause this problem, if anything. Or is it just a bad install? ---- On the Linux box - ==== [EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mail -v -s test [EMAIL PROTECTED] just a test from linux. .
