Try looking it up, on that PC, manually. e.g. [tim@serge ~]$ nslookup googlemail.com Server: 192.168.1.2 Address: 192.168.1.2#53 Non-authoritative answer: Name: googlemail.com Address: 66.249.91.83 Name: googlemail.com Address: 72.14.205.83 Name: googlemail.com Address: 72.14.253.83 Additionally, I'd be very surprised if googlemail would accept a message alleging to have come from <root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>. Most mail servers will only accept mail coming from valid domain names. Perhaps that's the "Host not found" issue with that failure message. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored. I read messages from the public lists.
