Alex, sendmail is listening on localhost only. If you really want the box to listen for network connections, I suggest editing the '/etc/sendmail.cf' file. Look specifically for the line that reads... O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA And change it to: O DaemonPortOptions=Port=smtp,Addr=0.0.0.0, Name=MTA Restart sendmail and your done. Alternatively, you could force sendmail to listen only on a specific IP address (instead of all 0s), just make sure the IP you specify is really bound to your NIC. ;) Cheers, William -- William Lanning ** RHCE =*=*=*= /earth is 98% full...
