There are several things you can check:

- is sendmail daemon running?
- check /var/log/messages for clues
- MX record is needed only to receive email without hostname,
  just domainname on the envelope

this for now post some more information like the output
of:

ps -axp | grep 25

this should show if the daemon is running, what address it is bind to
etc.

also try telnet localhost 25

and post results


hope it helps

Hi,

I've been trying to get email working on my machine but can't seem to get it
going.  I was able to send for a day but I'm not sure what I changed.

I've been trying to configure sendmail but I don't have an mx record.  What
else can I use just so the machine can send email.  I've installed a forum
software package and it needs to be able to send email. www.phpBB.com

Thanks,
Joel
