Assuming this machine is a mail relay (i.e. lets mail in and out, rather than just forwarding), then have a look in your sendmail.cf for the Cw definition. Check it has, e.g. Cwlocalhost bar.com and any other other domains it's a mail relay for. If your sendmail.cf is more recent than mine (the .cf is old, but the sendmail is pretty new 8) ), you might have Cwlocalhost # file containing names of hosts for which we receive email Fw/etc/sendmail.cw instead, in which case put the rest in this file, one on each line IIRC. > Thanks, Steve > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
