You have to configure your DNS and Sendmail to receive mails from the internet. Make sure you have the following in your zone file: rilv.net.il. IN A xxx.yyy.zzz.www IN MX 0 your_mail_relay.rilv.net.il. In /etc/sendmail.cf, make sure you have configured the Dw, DD and Cw macros. In Cw, you must include rilv.net.il, in Dw your hostname and in DD your domainname. I think this will solve your problems. -- Rodrigo de La Rocque Ormonde Confederacao Nacional do Transporte e-mail: ormonde@cnt.org.br PGP Public key: finger ormonde@cnt.org.br
