I am using a static ip. I think I do have an mx record but since my email isn't working I'm not sure.

Are you on a static IP from your ISP? If not, do you have any kinda dynamic name service you use like DYNDNS? You say you don't have an MX record, but that's okay. You still have to have some way for outside servers to know that your IP address matches a hostname. That's where static addresses come in, but even if you have a dynamic address, you can use a service like dyndns.org to give you a hostname that you can post your ever-changing ip address to so that you always have a name match up to your system. In addition, you should consider sending all outbound mail to your ISP's SMTP server so that if mail is ever sent to a host like AOL, their reverse lookups will always match back to a static SMTP originator. Give us alittle more info on your system like static/dynamic. <<JAV>> On Thu, 2003-02-13 at 18:17, Joel Lopez wrote: > My mail log says: > > Feb 13 14:23:52 tux sendmail[3608]: h1DMNqJW003608: from=root, size=62, > class=0, nrcpts=1, > msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > relay=root@localhost > Feb 13 14:23:52 tux sendmail[3610]: h1DMNqJW003610: > from=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, size=376, class=0, nrcpts=1, > msgid=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, proto=ESMTP, > daemon=MTA, relay=localhost.localdomain [127.0.0.1] > Feb 13 14:23:53 tux sendmail[3608]: h1DMNqYV003608: > [EMAIL PROTECTED], ctladdr=root (0/0), delay=00:00:01, > xdelay=00:00:01, mailer=relay, pri=30040, relay=localhost.localdomain. > [127.0.0.1], dsn=2.0.0, stat= Sent (h1DMNqJW003610 Message accepted for > delivery) > Feb 13 14:23:53 tux sendmail[3612]: h1DMNqJW003610: > to=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, > ctladdr=<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (0/0), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, > mailer=esmtp, pri=30354, relay=libraries.claremont.edu.
