Something else is wrong now. I can't connect to the SMTP port of bhost1.broadjam.net, so I can't tell if it's down or just refusing my attempt to connect. Are you sure you should be sending outgoing email through that host? > my flags in my rc.conf are: > > sendmail_enable="YES" > sendmail_flags="-bd -q30m" # -bd is pretty mandatory. This looks a bit wrong, if you are running a recent release of FreeBSD. The sendmail_enable option is *NOT* going to work with _flags. It is mostly a wrapper around the following: sendmail_submit_enable sendmail_outbound_enable sendmail_msp_queue_enable You should definitely read the manpage of rc.sendmail, before setting Sendmail-related options in your /etc/rc.conf file. Pay very close attention to the section ``RC.CONF VARIABLES''. - Giorgos
