That didn't fix it. The mail got queued though which is another problem that occurs sometimes along with this. As soon as I restart sendmail these queued mails are sent immediately.

These extra emails are problems with the mailq (I think).

I'm out...I abandoned sendmail for postfix years ago. A suggestion
though...set up a server on your lan to handle relaying all outbound
mail and use an smtp connection to that server instead of relying upon
the local /usr/bin/sendmail binary. That pretty much solves the issue of
configuring each workstation to handle mail deliveries.

There are a million ways around the problem, but I'd really just like to fix it.

Thanks for trying though.

I feel that you missed my point.

If you are going to rely upon configuring sendmail on each machine on
your LAN to deliver e-mail, you need to have working DNS and some
knowledge on how to configure sendmail. That's what's required to fix
it. You are choosing your own burdens here.

Craig


I understand you perfectly. However there is no DNS problem as I can read mail from the server, the browser works and I can ping. There is some new problem with F9 that is causing this or something that works differently on F9. This has worked fine on every version of Fedora since 1 and it works fine as soon as I restart sendmail.
