Hi!
I am having trouble redirecting root's email to an external email
account. This is a 4.7-Release box with not very modifications done to
the standard installation.
When I look at /var/spool/clientmqueue, it is full of messages. Here is
a snippet of one:
MDeferred: Operation timed
running. bg
Enjoy!

I'm not a big Sendmail expert or anything, but do you even
have the MTA
process running? Can you successfully telnet localhost.visimation.com
port 25? What sendmail related lines do you have in /etc/rc.conf?

hi,
did you try digging the nameserver
dig @nameserver localhost.visimation.com

Here is the result:
; DiG 8.3 @nameserver localhost.visimation.com
; Bad server: nameserver -- using default server and timer opts
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got
MDeferred: Operation timed out with localhost.visimation.com.
For some reason sendmail tries to contact localhost.visimation.com
What is the result of command
host visimation.com
on your box?
# host visimation.com
visimation.com has address 10.0.0.x
visimation.com mail is handled
