Hi Doug, do you have a /etc/sendmail.cw file? If not create one and put all the domain names and machine names for which you want to receive mail in there. Then add a line like this to /etc/sendmail.cf: Fw-o /etc/sendmail.cw and restart sendmail. BTW. it is in the sendmail FAQ. Hope that helps. regards, Stephan -- FORTH EDV Beratung + Schulung stephan@forthdv.pfm-mainz.de Martin-Luther-Str. 55 voice: +49 6131 581072 55131 Mainz, Germany fax: +49 6131 581073
