I'm not trying to use ldap, I'm assuming I would see that in my /etc/mail/sendmail.mc? (there is nothing there referring to ldap)
I might have had problems with my domain name. I changed my /etc/hosts to call myself notquitesonic.worldfactors.com (another hostname I had set up for dns reasons a while ago). Before if I did hostname --domain I would get "com" (since my hostname was notquitesonic). I've been able to send and receive so far, I'll let you know if I have the problem again. I was able to send and receive yesterday and then it broke again earlier today. Thanks for the timely reply. I've been wasting too much time fighting this problem (I should have asked for help earlier :) ) later -----Original Message----- From: Richard A Nelson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 13, 2001 2:25 PM To: Robert Schmidt Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: Problems with sendmail On Sun, 13 May 2001, Robert Schmidt wrote: > I upgraded to woody and downloaded the newest version of Sendmail.

If you're using ldap, be sure to setup libnss-ldap. -- Rick Nelson Debian Linux is a solid, comprehensive product, and a genuine pleasure to use. It is also great to become involved with the Debian collective, whose friendliness and spirit recalls the early days of the Internet and its sense of openness and global cooperation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
