I just tried another users account and it's able to send. In her case, both her username and e-mail name are the same. I do use aliases and redirection for many accounts... after all, I can't have 20 users named 'sales'. The big difference with this one just seemed to be that FreeBSD complained about an 18 character username. Sendmail doesn't seem to have a problem with it though. >> Is mcaonline.ca in local-host-names? > > yes. And other mcaonline.ca users can send...
