If it works locally the that's likely the problem. Edit /etc/mail/sendmail.mc and look for this stanza dnl # dnl # The following causes sendmail to only listen on the IPv4 loopback address dnl # 127.0.0.1 and not on any other network devices. Remove the loopback dnl # address restriction to accept email from the internet or intranet. dnl # dnl # DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')dnl DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')dnl In this example, it's listening on the smtp port for all IPv4 addresses. After making the change, while still in /etc/mail, type make -C /etc/mail When that finishes /sbin/service sendmail restart Then try sending yourself mail from hotmail. -- Steve
