Hi, I am new to FreeBSD and have a problem with mail (and sendmail I suppose). At home I have a desktop PC with only a dialup PPP (PPPoE) connection; now I want to send a message with 'mail' from one local user to another (for example to remind myself to do something), but I already get stuck here. My /etc/hosts file looks like this: 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.1 myhost.mydomain myhost in /etc/rc.conf I have: hostname="myhost.mydomain" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 255.255.255.0" When I know try to send a mail to 'userone' with 'mail -v userone' I get the following error (same error in /var/spool/clientmqueue): userone... Connecting to localhost.mydomain. via relay... userone... Deferred: Connection refused by localhost.mydomain. I don't know what to do. I have already tried to find a clue in the handbook, the faq, several man pages and the sendmail faq, but I haven't found out what to do. Also I have started to read the sendmail documentation, but I don't know if it is a problem with sendmail or if it is something differnt. (I thought it might be something like adding "Cwmydomain" to sendmail.cf but that did not work.) Can someone tell me what to do or give me some ideas what might be the problem and what to read?
