It's sometimes useful to read FAQs. ;-) You've already noticed that i'm using a fairly similar setup like you (mail via UUCP, though in my case without the ugly bang :), dialup IP connection occasionally, local DNS). So it's not surprising that i've been confrontated with a similar set of problems once. How do I use sendmail for mail delivery with UUCP? (p1 of 8) 10.16. How do I use sendmail for mail delivery with UUCP? The sendmail configuration that ships with FreeBSD is suited for sites that connect directly to the Internet. Sites that wish to exchange their mail via UUCP must install another sendmail configuration file. (I skip the remainder of that section here, you can read it locally on file:/usr/share/doc/FAQ/freebsd-faq.html.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
