FreeBSD 6.1/amd64 SMP +sendmail 8.13.6 & 8.13.7 and FreeBSD 5.4/amd64 SMP +sendmail 8.13.6 & 8.13.7 are both the same result. All looks okey. BUT ....... I use FreeBSD as mail server from 2.2.8 to 5.2.1, it is the first time I met this kind of thing. May be it is the bug of sendmail, but it runs no problem on i386 platform. Is there huge difference on i386 and amd64 on the topic of mail server? My box is a running system, may be I have few chance to try again. Sorry about that! Next time I will think about postfix.
