The "permission denied" error implies that your firewall ruleset is preventing the outgoing connection. Try: ipfw show to see your current firewall rules. Also read through /etc/rc.firewall and /etc/defaults/rc.conf to get some more information on the firewall issues. When you've gotten that resolved you should have enough information to get sendmail working the way you want. lane
