To debug this you need to kick up the logging on sendmail, add the loglevel option to your sendmail options in rc.conf: -O LogLevel=80 You will need a loglevel value fairly high, like 80. You can then watch or just look at the sendmail log file: /var/log/maillog And see what is actually

It is possible your DVD is not cd9660 standard format. The cd9660 pre-dates DVD's and is for CD-ROMS. Can you mount a standard CD-ROM? You may also need to add the -r flag to mount to specify it is a read-only filesystem. Hope this helps. -Derek At 04:20 PM 2/16/2006, Ronald

As you said you have just upgraded, did you use the port to upgrade? If you did it will use the configuration setting to build qpopper. Otherwise, if you downloaded qpopper's source and built it yourself, you need to check the configuration settings. You should verify qpopper is built and

I would suggest setting the hostname as a different address from localhost. There are multiple instances of sendmail that run, as your rc.conf file has them enabled. You can use a private non-routable IP for the hostname. Hope this helps. -Derek At 04:10 PM 2/22/2006, Rob wrote:

As far as I know, sendmail uses DNS and the server's name resolution it is running on for the IP's. There is nowhere I know in sendmail where an IP is hard coded. If you are having any difficulty it is due to changes to your DNS, and the time it takes for DNS changes to propagate across the
