And there's your problem. "face2interface.domain" does not resolve in DNS, so most if not all other mail servers on the internet will refuse to accept email from it. You can either set your hostname to something that does resolve, or configure sendmail to masquerade as something that resolves. You can read more about configuring sendmail in the file /usr/share/sendmail/cf/README Ruben > >- the IP of your mail server is 192.168.0.10 > > The ip adr of my fbsd box, i.e. the one being configured to act as the mail > server for my lan is 192.168.0.7. > > >- your default gateway for your network is 192.168.0.1 > > Yes, I think.
