I was using RELAY in my /etc/mail/access files and I had created the local-host-names file with my main and networked names. But looking at Erin's files really shed the light. In my case--everyone else's mileage will vary--I needed /etc/mail/relay-domains, and in that file I needed the IP of tao.[tera|cray].com. With this (plus a kill -HUP), mail to kline@thought.org works again. I've tested it from logins at toxic.magnesium.net and muuz.deadbbs.com, so assume it will work from any valid site. I'll say it again: the great thing about open-source is that people help one another. With that, thanks to everybody! gary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
