Nope, that wan't it (problem is solved, after REALLY closely comapring every byte in all the configfiles with another host)
I may relay. I did that already. No problems there. The problam was that my mailserver wouldn't let any mail come in. It seemed to me it couldn't resolve the sending domainname.
This was the solution:
In /etc/host.conf, put a comma instead of a space between 'hosts' and 'bind'.....
Stupid, isn't it? Now to find out who did the change, and I'm all happy again.
"order hosts bind" is a valid syntax and should work in every case. And, the "order" option in /etc/host.conf should be ignored by sendmail. Instead, /etc/nsswitch.conf should be used. Seems a program uses it's own, incompatible resolver library. I thought only libc5 does this, not sendmail :( Thorsten -- Thorsten Kukuk http://www.suse.de/~kukuk/ kukuk@suse.de SuSE GmbH Schanzaeckerstr. 10 90443 Nuernberg Linux is like a Vorlon.
