well you know what the saying is .. "don't use a redhat .0 release :)" I'm not really a redhat user but a debian user, though I have a redhat system on my LAN here just so I am famillar with it .. what does the log show? a test I usually do would be echo "test" | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] ; tail -f /var/log/maillog worst case perhaps, purge out the sendmail rpm and reinstall maybe the upgrade broke something. > That's fine, I don't have a problme sending via localhost as that's all I > need it to do, but it's not, it's sending via the actual network hostname > of the computer. Any idea how to change it to? sending via the network interface, well if I understand what your saying is normal and that should work. It can only RECIEVE mail on the loopback interface by default, which seems to be fine for your situation. do you have any firewall rules? try iptables -L I seem to remember some redhat versions comming with a fairly strict firewall config in some situations. another thing to try is to telnet to the mail server your sending mail to on port 25 and be sure that network-wise it works(do this from the redhat box that's having the trouble). If your not sure what mail server is associated with an email address use the host command (e.g. host -t MX aphroland.org) good luck! nate -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
