Doesn't need dns. /etc/hosts will be fine. BUT he also needs to put the proper name in /etc/rc.conf. Perhaps monster-freebsd.local would take care of that. The refusal to accept mail by the local IP 127.0.0.1 is because there is no FQDN - but you don't need to have it in DNS. > > monster-freebsd# mailq -Ac > > # very long pause > > /var/spool/clientmqueue (8 requests) > > - -----Q-ID----- --Size-- -----Q-Time----- > > - ------------Sender/Recipient----------- > > lBAEQDUM077228 9 Mon Dec 10 09:26 aryeh > > (Deferred: Connection refused by [127.0.0.1]) > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > No submission service running.

Since the local server is refusing it, that's because of the no proper domain name 'monster-freebsd'. The submission service could be running, but since the system doesn't know it's own name it wont receive mail. He should also have 'localhost' in /etc/mail/local-host-names [or whatever it is refereneced by in the sendmail.cf, and then also add the monster-freebsd.local to that file too. If there is nothing in the local-host-names the system won't know the mail is destined to the local machine.
