The problem is exactly what sendmail says it is. The sender domain must exist, and it does not. If this is an internal only domain for your network, can sendmail resolve it? I notice you have no records for any bbnow.net domains except for MX records. Your mail server may be able to recieve emails this way, but it can't send them until your domain resolves. roo@drizzle:~> host minion.dfx.tx.bbnow.net ns2.I3S.net Using domain server: Name: ns2.I3S.net Address: 24.219.4.216 Aliases: Host not found. roo@drizzle:~> host minion.dfx.tx.bbnow.net 411.I3S.net Using domain server: Name: 411.I3S.net Address: 24.219.4.11 Aliases: roo@drizzle:~> -- Benjamin Krueger "Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about." - Oscar Wilde (1854 - 1900) ---------------------------------------------------------------- Send mail w/ subject 'send public key' or query for (0x251A4B18) Fingerprint = A642 F299 C1C1 C828 F186 A851 CFF0 7711 251A 4B18 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
