Ryan: Thanks for your help. I did in fact remake the database, just went back and did it again and retested. Restarted sendmail after I did the make. Did not work. Received message for joeblow, but rejected others. I also tested without the entry in local-host-names, that doesn't work at all, rejects everything for xyz.com. Someone else suggested it is a class w, but I see no evidence of that and I don't really know what that means. Other ideas?
