I can ping myself as address and also by full domain name and abbreviated name. ie it doesn't look like a DNS problem. Except I can't get out! :-( Error messages = zero. Sendmail simply doesn't load :-( I have looked at updating and have collected a number of docs also from the sendmail src file. They refer to a tightening of security, but I am no techy- guru so I wasn't able to determine what, if anything, I was supposed to change to deal with my problem :-( -- Brian ----------------------------------------------- This message sent through Adam Internet Webmail http://www.adam.com.au To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
