I think my previous reply to this was lost. Sorry if it's a dup. I had the same problem; Sendmail is trying to resolve the IPs on your LAN, but it appears that there is not reverse DNS setup. I fixed it by adding reverse DNS entries...which presumes you're running BIND. If my understanding is correct, 'gethostbyaddr' tries DNS first, then the /etc/hosts file, so you might try editing that file appropriately as well. Hope that helps. --Tim --- Lee Mark Mercado <mercadolee@hotmail.com> wrote: > i have my freeBSD box as my internet gateway for my > LAN (and is also my > email server)....
