Now this is /etc/hosts: % cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost nospam.hiwaay.net 10.1.1.1 n4hhe.ampr.org n4hhe 208.147.154.56 fly.hiwaay.net fly And now it complains about localhost, not nospam.hiwaay.net: Mar 30 20:26:58 nospam sendmail[42533]: UAA42533: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<dkelly@localhost>, relay=localhost [127.0.0.1], reject=451 <dkelly@localhost>... Sender domain must resolve Then rearange /etc/hosts: % cat /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 nospam.hiwaay.net localhost 10.1.1.1 n4hhe.ampr.org n4hhe 208.147.154.56 fly.hiwaay.net fly and get this once again: Mar 30 20:30:57 nospam sendmail[42559]: UAA42559: ruleset=check_mail, arg1=<dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net>, relay=nospam.hiwaay.net [127.0.0.1], reject=451 <dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net>... Sender domain must resolve What sendmail needs to be happy is DNS. /usr/bin/mail and mutt don't have this problem. Guess I ought to change mailers but haven't been willing to bite that bullet yet. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@nospam.hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
