My problem is, I want sendmail to use smtp1.sympatico.ca as the outgoing mail server. I can use sendmail ok but the IP's we are given (which change daily) are listed in mail-abuse.org's DUL so many sites (including the ISP I work for) won't accept any mail from that box. I thought I would just change the entry in /etc/mail/sendmail.cf # "Smart" relay host (may be null) DS smtp1.sympatico.ca and kill -HUP sendmail's pid# But then I get this error: Apr 4 15:21:18 scaryg sendmail[392]: f34JLI000392: SYSERR(freymann): MX list for smtp1.sympatico.ca points back to scaryg.shacknet.nu uname -a FreeBSD scaryg.shacknet.nu 4.3-RC FreeBSD 4.3-RC #0: Sun Apr 1 22:12:16 EDT 2001 freymann@freebsd.sputnik.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SCARY i386 Sendmail version: 220 scaryg.shacknet.nu ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.3/8.11.3; I'm not running named... just have in /etc/resolv.conf domain scaryg.shacknet.nu nameserver 204.101.251.1 (which is sympatico's DNS) For now, I just use Netscape Email where I can set the SMTP servername and everything is fine there... but from the command prompt (or other email clients) I'm kinda lost. -Gerry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
