John and I carried on a discussion about his problem in private email, but for the benefit of the list readers, his problem was sendmail rejecting the from address because the "domain" used in the from email address wasn't valid to the outside world. Once John used a real, working email address everything went through fine. Part of this was discovered by simply running sendmail in verbose mode from the command line, like this: echo testing | sendmail -v some_email_address@yourhost.com and watching the output. Very handy when debugging ;-) I believe all is well now. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Gerry Freymann - Interpool Development www.interpool.ca -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
