I use IPv6 all the time. I do have sendmail gateways configured to use it, DNS, etc. I haven't yet though disposed of my IPv4 stack. Someday... > Thanks for your assistance.

I sounds like you are having some other issue. This whole IPv6 theory may not have anything to do with it. What do you mean by the "ntp" symptoms? What's the output of running "ntpq -c peers"? The most puzzling thing is that you said a 'telnet xxx 25' works. So, here's some things we need to try: 1. Look up MX records, etc. $ host -t mx rh80host.yourdomain.com. $ host -t mx yourdomain.com. $ host -t a rh80host.yourdomain.com. 2. Get the qf* file. When you attempt to send mail and it's refused, does it stay queued for delivery? Run, # sendmail -bp If you see it listed in there, get the queue number and go find the corresponding qf* file under /var/spool/mqueue. 3. How heavily cusomized are your systems. Like your sendmail.mc file. iptables and ip6tables? Are you running any sendmail milters? -- Deron Meranda
