Why isn't it listening on that address now? What you see is `normal' for a host which supports local email delivery and forwards everything else to another `smart host'. If you want to start a listener which also accepts email from the network (instead of a listener only for 127.0.0.1 like the one you have now), you will have to tweak the `sendmail_xxx_enable' options in your `/etc/rc.conf' file. Right now, you probably have something like: sendmail_enable=NO sendmail_submit_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES To run the sendmail daemon for inbound email connections on all network interfaces, you need sendmail_enable=YES, and then you can drop the line for the `submit' daemon: sendmail_enable=YES sendmail_msp_queue_enable=YES Note: For more details about these `rc.conf' variables, it may be useful to read the rc.sendmail(5) manpage. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Andy Take a look at your settings for sendmail in /etc/rc.conf vs /etc/default/rc.conf You need two instances of sendmail running, one for local delivery, another for external mail send receive. -Derek -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Interesting that the Handbook didn't mention it. At least, this section didn't mention it and this is what I was looking to: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/sendmail.html Thanks again. I set sendmail_enable='YES' in /etc/rc.conf (per instructions to leave alone /etc/defaults/rc.conf) and then did /etc/rc.d/sendmail restart and it worked.
