Thanks. Check through the /etc/aliases file to make sure there's no loops being created. Second, make sure that the mail is being sent to the right pace as far as the DNS is concerned. You could also try telnet'ing to port 25 of your machine, and type this: helo (your hostname) expn root this'll tell you where the root mail is going; that's a quick way to check on how things are routing. Can't tell you much more without a little more info; where is this error popping up, and can you think of any common factor amoung when it pops up? Only when you send mail, or what? *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* | FreeBSD; the way computers were meant to be | * FreeBSD: turning PCs into workstations * | Windows: turning workstations into typewriters | * fullermd@futuresouth.com :-} MAtthew Fuller * | http://keystone.westminster.edu/~fullermd | *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
