Any ideas? I am stumped. Also I have just left dovcot alone right now just working on getting sendmail to work, I just check /var/mail/xxx, also I can send everything local to, like if i were to send from UID 500 i can use sendmail to send to UID 502 and that works fine. From hotmail though if i send it doesnt seem to ever arrive. though i never recieve delivery status notice like i usually do on hotmail if something doesn't get to proper destination
