Well, somehow sendmail still manages to (attempt to) get loaded. If you don't update sendmail during buildworld then it may be the version that got installed when you first installed FreeBSD. Is there a "sendmail_enable" line in /etc/rc.conf? What the error message tries to tell you is that your IP address cannot be resolved to DNS name. -- Toomas Aas | toomas.aas@raad.tartu.ee | http://www.raad.tartu.ee/~toomas/ * Ambivalence may or may not be my problem.
