Well, if you have hand-modified your sendmail.cf instead of building it from a .mc file with m4, or have some rewriting rules embedded in the .mc, the most likely cause is that you have made an error in the rules causing an infinite rewrite recursion. Another possibility, if you have a m4-built sendmail.cf but are using the virtusertable feature, is that you have a virtusertable entry like: <something> user@domain where 'domain' is in class w. This will cause the result of the virtuser lookup to be looked up again, with the potential for causing an infinite loop. The general rule is to only use simple unqualified usernames in the RHS of the virtusertable, unless it refers to a "remote" domain. --Per Hedeland To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
