A "netstat -vant" should reveal sendmail listening on all interfaces (0.0.0.0:25). Have you modified your firewall (if one exists) to allow incoming connections to tcp/25? I see you're on DSL, but I'm not sure whether it's commercial or residential. If residential, are you sure SWBell isn't filtering out incoming port 25? -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
