How do I check on that? I found I'd messed up testing on the NetBSD-3.1 system and outgoing mail was working from root when checking xmail-1.25-pre16 but I was logged into a user account when I tried xmail-1.25. This was giving the error that domain didn't exist. Today when I tried again with xmail-1.25 but from root account it worked ok and when I added the user account to /etc/mail/aliases and ran newaliases (sendmail) outgoing mail was then also working ok from that user as well. Now back to NetBSD-4.0. I'm still unable to get local mail outgoing from NetBSD-4.0 whilst mail to public addresses seems be delivered ok. The dns server is same for NetBSD-3.1 as for NetBSD-4.0 so I suspect problem is due to some changes from NetBSD-3.1 with Sendmail to NetBSD-4.0 with Postscript. Local mail delivery to other hosts on lan worked ok via Postscript.
