I have started to upgrade my FreeBSD boxes from 4.3R to 4.4R building from cvsup'd sources. Using the stock sendmail configurations my 4.4 boxes can no longer send mail to my mail server (a FreeBSD 4.3-p14), but my 4.3 boxes still can. I know sendmail has been upgraded and bind has been upgraded but I can't figure out why it isn't working. When sending an email on the 4.4 box I get: mawire# mail -v -s "New test" scampbel@pochta.gvpl.ca < test.file scampbel@pochta.gvpl.ca... Connecting to pochta.gvpl.victoria.bc.ca. via esmtp... scampbel@pochta.gvpl.ca... Deferred: Operation timed out with pochta.gvpl.victoria.bc.ca. But if I "telnet pochta 25" I can send an email using EHLO..., MAIL From..., RCPT To..., DATA, ., QUIT Looking at the IPFW logs (open but logging) I only see UDP dns queries between the 4.4 box and the mail server, no TCP to port 25 :( All three boxes are using the same dns server. The 4.4 box can ping and nslookup the mail server. The 4.4 and the 4.3 machine have the same resolv.conf, similar hosts files. The 4.4 box was made with the following make.conf file. CFLAGS= -O -pipe NO_CVS= true NO_FORTRAN= true NO_I4B= true NO_LPR= true NO_OBJC= true NO_SHAREDOCS= true NO_X= true NOGAMES= true NOINFO= true NOLIBC_R= true NOPROFILE= true NOUUCP= true WANT_OPENSSL_MANPAGES= true NOPORTDOCS= true USA_RESIDENT= NO The 4.3 box's make.conf: CFLAGS= -O -pipe NOPROFILE= true NOGAMES= true NOPORTDOCS= true NO_X= true RSAREF= YES USA_RESIDENT= NO Since it is trying to use esmtp I didn't think it was the NOUUCP but I don't know it all. I haven't seen any docs saying that any of the above make.conf flags effect mail. Any helpful suggestions? I've tried using the old sendmail.cf with no luck - it looks like a dns issue but why does the 4.3 box still work? I can't find what changed. Thanks in advance Scott E.
