This is likely one of two potential problems. Either you're using the broken busybox hostname command (ie "hostname -f" does NOT return the systems FQDN) or your local hostname is not set correctly (check /etc/resolv.conf). If you need to override the local FQDN (ie you want your firewall to be firewall.my.domain, but your mail-server requires firewall.isp.domain), use the settings in /etc/POSIXness.conf to override the local hostname. > After rebooting the system, I tried the 'mail -s "logs" [EMAIL PROTECTED] > </var/log/messages' command from the prompt.

Looking in the sendmail logs I see: > > Nov 24 21:46:24 web sendmail[30817]: NOQUEUE: [192.168.1.254] did not issue > MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to Daemon0 > > So it looks like sendmail doesn't like the mail command from my LRP.

I'm using Eiger if > that's informational. This version of the mail script would work intermittently, so your results arn't too suprising. While the mail script on my website generally works much better than the Eiger version, the Dachstein version (available on the CD or via CVS...I don't know off-hand if the floppy-rc2 has the latest version) is generally much better, and the 'preffered' script if you're actually planning on using the mail function.
