Hello Ed, Ok, so basicly, the moment send mail gets a connection and the to and from is passed, it check if that domain is alive and kicking :) Now, what will happen if the mail relay (me logged in) comes from a host that sendmail can't resolve ? Before I fixed it it said that IP name lookup failed....Will this still apply even if I have auth'ed ?
