PROGRESS!

Those lines worked just fine in the "old" sendmail, but changing them to: :: 1 localhost BAPhD.gihon.org.au 127.0.0.1 localhost BAPhD.gihon.org.au worked wonders with the "new" sendmail. No huge delays - sendmail loads on boot as it should. BUT I still can't get past my DSL modem :-( Note. Mine is a private network and does not have a static IP no, so you could not resolve it, anyway. Q. Where could I go from here? Obviously something is still "not right". I think there is a command that gives the name if you give the address and vice versa - but what IS that command? Mind you, I'm not sure that is an issue. Thanks for your help - and patience - so far. -- Brian
