sendmail *must* be able to resolve its own hostname to a local IP address. So in /etc/hosts do the following: 127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost hostname.domain.net hostname That is, force resolution of the fqdn to 127.0.0.1 Otherwise, what does it say in /var/log/maillog ? > -Arthur Cheers Tony -- Psyche-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
