The rejected mail has valid entries in all of those files. Here's a curious clue though, I have an automated php file that sends an email to family members when an internal mail system has a message for them from another family member. The php line reads "$headers = 'From: "theFamily.net" <Message-System@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>'."\r\n". yet the message is going out as "theFamily.net" <Message-System@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ?? This is using php4 but somewhere Sendmail is changing the @domain in both the From and To fields(?). The delivery to Sendmail is through the php command mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers); Both problems started happening at the same time - somehow, somewhere, Sendmail thinks my machine domain is "wc.funnel.revenuedirect.com.akadns.net" it seems? I have searched sendmail.cf and sendmail.mc and neither contain that name or have been modified. bob
